Snuggle Slippers



These were extra-fun to make! I used two strands of yarn at a time to make them thick and hold their shape. The base was made with black and brown yarn while the sides and top were made with light purple and green. I want to work on variations of these to make a ballet slipper design and maybe even try mary janes with a little buckle.

Gifts by me

This year I made some wearable gifts. I'm getting better with a crochet hook so I was able to complete these two fairly quickly and I'm very happy with how they turned out.

For my little sister who happens to be obsessed with purple I made a hat and scarf. The scarf was a pattern I put together by mashing a couple patterns I have used before. Her hat, on the other hand, was created as I went.


For my Mom I made a cowl out of some fantastic green yarn I found earlier this year(I used some of the left over for my sister's hat and Clover's bonnet from a previous post). She can use it to warm her neck or as a chunky headband. This pattern was a variation on this pattern I found: http://angryolive.livejournal.com/13767.html

Babber's Bonnet

It's been quite chilly here in beautiful Seattle, so much so that we're snowed in at the moment. in celebration of the icy weather I've made a snug little head warmer for my tiny companion. I know I know, tormented she may look but I assure you she appreciates this sucker while out in the brisk northwestern air.

Stay Spring, Please!



Warming up again, hope it sticks around for a bit. I'm all about it being 70 degrees for months on end.
