A little late for this winter

.... but very early for next, when Niki will start college classes at Northern Illinois University.  These were in the Holiday Vogue Knitting, called "High Boot Toppers."  I thought they were cute and showed them to her and she said yes, she'd like to have a pair.




 You have to put up with my modeling them because Niki lives in another state, and the mannequin who usually does this job for me - well, sadly, she has no feet or legs.  And my boots are no where near "high" so they don't look too much like in the magazine photo.


I used the recommended superwash wool, and Niki picked the yarn color.


These were quick and easy - took me eight days to make the pair.  I hope they will keep Niki warm and chic!

Almost makes me wish that I were 40 years younger and lived in the snowy north. But then I'd also need a nice Aunt Cheryl...
