I'm trying to attach along the way as well as sew in or crochet in the ends so I won't be stuck with that daunting task in the end. I don't know how big it will be I plan to go until the yarn runs out. I want to start a pair of these slipper boots in gray and cream with maybe a hint of blue- green color.
I saw these on the Cozy Made Things blog and really liked her take on the slippers. The original pattern uses less hexagons for a short slipper but I like the taller version. I originally bought some plastidip to put on the bottom but after further research I also bought a roll of jute that I will use for the bottoms. This way I can wear them out the house if I please. I was going to go this alone but I found a pattern on for crochet soles - turning slippers into street shoes, which I think will be very helpful.
After going through my stash, even taking yarn from other projects (rainbow puff stitch blanket) I decided I wanted a hoided scarf. I refuse to buy what I can make and this time went with the Harlequin Hoodie on Ravelry.
African Flower Christmas Stocking
After making African flowers for the blanket I thought this would make a unique Christmas stocking. There is a Etsy shop that sells a pattern but I figured this was one of those things I could figure out on my own. I used this pattern for the Polka Dot Christmas Stocking to help piece the motifs together.
I attached them differently at the toe and took out two motifs from the toe as well as a full row at the top of the stocking. Instead I added half hexagons to make a straight edge along the top and some rows of single and double crochet. I liked the finished product and decided to list this in My Etsy shop.
