My House Shoe Pattern I've Had For Years

I have a house shoe pattern I have had for years . I got it when I was in home economics in high school way before I got married in 1972 .
You cast on 32 stitches
Row 1 : Knit 10 , Purl 1 , Knit 10 , Purl 1 , Knit 10
Row 2 : Purl 10 , Knit 1 , Purl 10 , Knit 1 , Purl 10
Repeat Rows 1 & 2 until it measures 4 1/2 to 5 inches
then change to Knit 1 , Purl 1 until it measures 7 inches or then start the decrease .
Knit 3 , Knit 2 together all the way across .  leave a 20 in thread for sewing up .
Thread yarn through a big eyed needle and run it through the stitches and then pull off  the knitting needle and draw tight and then run it through stitches again to make sure it don't come undone .

  Sew up the heel and across the top of the foot . You now have warm house shoes to wear .

Wow , I didn't realize that it has been that long since I've updated my blog . I play games on Facebook and before I know it , it is way past my bedtime . I think well I'll get to it tomorrow , and I just never do .
I haven't been doing any knitting , and I haven't done any sewing either . I have to be in the mood to do these things . Needless to say I'm just not in the mood .
The weather here is nice the temp has been in the 80's and 90's . Not too hot quite yet . Loving it .
Thats it for now , maybe it want be so long in posting next time .

This - N- That

Hello everybody , I want to say that my daughter's gallbladder surgery went well, and that she is doing fine . She goes back to the doctor for a check up on the 30th of July. Well it looks as if July is just about gone , and so is half of this year . Before you know it Halloween , Thanksgiving and Christmas too will be here . Where does the time go ? How about that wage increase that was about time wasn't it ? We need a lot more the way this economy is , what with stuff going up higher and higher everyday . Well I am through talking for now I'm off to visit my farm on Farm Town . Come and join me it is a lot of fun .
