House Slippers


Ok so what the slippers are two different shades of blue lol I like them that way. I'm also like super ashy in this picture (I'm sick and it's cold lemme lone) I followed (loosely) a pattern from a forum on craftster. These suckers are warm and toasty, I used one strand of Lion Brand Homespun and a strand of worsted weight wool from my LYS (it's like multiple shades of blue same yarn as the wrist warmers). The pattern was supper easy and the only problem is I crocheted the darker slipper with an N hook (started ) and finished with a K so it's not as stiff as the light blue one which I worked completely with the K. Oh well Newbie-ness strikes again. What do ya think?

Back... Again



So I have yet to finish the purple wrap top from Afya's book, I get disgusted with the sleeves and end up putting it down. It's an easy pattern, but I keep having to adjust the sleeves to fit my big ol' arms, now the first sleeve went fine because I went into it knowing I had to make it bigger, but the second sleeve, weeeeelll I didn't go to work on it until like June and got about halfway down before I realized I'd forgotten to make it bigger. Due to annoyance I put it back in the W.I.P. bag and that's where it is now... in October. I'm clearly not a pro. I did however finish a pair of fingerless gloves

The yarn is a multi-tonal blue wool I got from my LYS, and I can't remember the name since I got the two skeins I have of it like last year sometime. I'm currently working on two neck warmers that I'm going to post pictures of sometime in the next few days.. I know I'm a bad blogger cause I'm so frequently absent, but lordy if you knew how seldom I get to crochet , I swear you'd understand :)
