Loop-d-Loop Yarn

My yarn has arrived!! Nine balls of Moss Loop-d-Loop yarn. This will become the Shell Lace Jacket from the fall 2007 issue of Vogue Knitting. (At least, that is what I planning right now.)

The yarn is 85% extra fine merino wool and 15% nylon. It's soft and a little bit fuzzy. And the first thing I thought when I grabbed a ball from the bag was slippers.

I want a pair of moss Loop-d-Loop slippers. I know I've seen a pattern for knitted ballet-type slippers somewhere on the 'net. I'm hoping there will be enough left over from the jacket. If not, well, I'll just have to buy more.
