• Handknit by me.
  • Real, genuine Converse All Stars!
  • Clear plastic.
  • This makes the afterthought heel totally worth it.

Most AWESOME Shoes Ever!

Even more awesome if you have handknit socks to wear with them.

Happy early birthday to me! I ordered the shoes weeks ago, and they arrived today! It almost made up for the fact taht I still don't have power after 11 days at my house. Thanks, Ike.

I discovered them thanks to an Austin knitter, Steph, who kindly sent me the link to order them online - you can get them at Journeys. (I ordered mine online.)

    Julia - you can get them from Journeys.com - it was actually an Austin knitter that I spotted online sporting a pair and she led me to them.
