Named after 2 books I've recently read By: Allison Pittman.
Book 1: For Time and Eternity; By: Allison Pittman

This scarf looks like train tracks to me, "One's life journey";
And thus the name came to be, "Camilla's Faith",
on Side One A her journey to Utah with her new husband,
On Side One B, her trip home to MO. where she reunites
with her parents, On side Two A Camilla's return to Utah
to re-claim her children, on side Two B her return trip home
to Mo.. This story is about "Sister Wife's". Excelent reading
and highly reccomended.

Ribbed Slippers

This is my all time favorite slipper pattern. It is NOT one of my patterns, but my all time favorite, These are slippers I make for Christmas each year.

This is the original site this pattern could be found at, HOWEVER, it is closed down now, so I'm sharing from my printed copy...
http://web.archive.org/web/20071017070947/http://www.marloscrochetcorner.com/ribbed+slipper.html

~~~~~~~~~~

These slippers fit my feet with sock on and I wear a size 9. (Read not at bottom of page) If you wear a different size (as I JMSQ do)  you will need to either decrease or increase the number of rows on round 4-17. These slippers are very warm and the ribbing at the top keeps your ankles warm too. Enjoy.
