For cuff version, tack folded-over cuff to back of
slipper. Weave in ends and attach pompom, tacking
down front cuffs if desired. Make a second slipper.
POMPOMS:
If you want to make your own pompon maker, cut two
cardboard circles with a diameter of 2 ¼”. Cut out
centre circles to a diameter of 7/8” or 1”.
To make pompon, cut 4-6 long strands of yarn
(approx. 36”). Thread all strands into a large yarn
needle.
Holding cardboard circles together, wrap yarn through
centre and over edge with needle always entering
centre from same direction. Add more yarn as
necessary. The fuller the centre hole is with yarn, the
thicker the pompom.
Insert scissors between cardboard circles and cut yarn
around entire circumference.
Cut a 10” piece of yarn for tying pompom.
Gently separate discs and wrap 10” piece of yarn
around centre of pompom: it is helpful if cardboard
circles are still loosely attached.
Pull tightly and tie knot (I like a surgeon’s knot which
is a normal knot with the yarn run through an extra
time). Wrap one more time and knot again.
Hold pompon with all strands aimed out of top
of fist. Trim, but do not cut the two ends that are
holding pompon together: use them for attaching the
pompom. Attach to top of slipper toe.
A Bit of Local History:
Monarch Knitting Ltd. was a 4-storey spinning and knitting
mill which operated in St. Thomas from 1908 until the late
1940s. It was the largest manufacturer of yarns in Canada,
and the largest employer of female labour in St. Thomas. In the
1950s, it became Parkspin Ltd., a spinning mill with a popular
salesroom/factory outlet. In 1964, Earl and Lavina Shaw,
whose family founded the Mary Maxim Company, moved to St.
Thomas to take over operation of the company.
Why do I call these Parkspin Slippers? An early version of this
slipper pattern was available in the Parkspin Salesroom, and
was one of my first knitting projects …and my first real summer
job was working at the big old spinning machines in this mill.
Oh dear, I just put myself in a paragraph about local history!
