beards

Last week for the first time ever I wrote my very own crochet beard pattern.  I was scared to make that step but my sista Bree gives me great encouragement.  So hopefully sometime soon I will make an official write up of the pattern that I use to make the popular bears that I sell here at school! 

Life is good! Just need more yarn.   

Flipper Slippers

I have been searching for a 

cute, quirky and easy slipper pattern

 to crochet.

 There are SO MANY!! 

But I am still learning how to read patterns 

and I spent hours making one slipper to get half way through 

to find it 

WAY TOO big. 

I did something wrong. 

So on to making my own. 

I have not seen a pattern or style like this one.....

and I have looked at a lot of slipper patterns. 

I have not written out a normal pattern. 

If I can't read one, than I can't write one. 

I made more of a template for my size. 

I have a page for the top or toe part and then one for the heel part. 

Making this is mostly just how it fits YOUR foot, 

so having a pattern is silly anyway. 

It is very simple.

I used this pattern to make the triangle shape:

Then once I got to the size i needed, 

then I stopped increasing. 

In the following video I show how to measure it to your foot.

I have 15 increase rows and then 8 rows to continue for the heel. 

 I fold down the top point and start the stitch at the 15th row to make the toe part.

.

 

stitch the heel part up.

And done.

So, they are a bit ugly. 

My 5 year-old son says they look like flippers,

thay is why they are the 

Flipper Slippers.

Leave a comment if you have any questions.

I think I made it sound 

way more complicated that it really is.  

Sorry

These are very simple.

Thanks :)

Sister stuff

I could easily say that my sister and myself have this addiction....We <3 to crochet.  It is always on our brains.  We always have at least five projects going at one time--at least.  

We can't make up our mind, so we make it all.   

Here are just SOME of our creations

 This one is my favorite! Baby Sue is so happy! Good job on this one sis!  

 This blog will be a place for us to post different items that we want to make available to crochet lovers.
More to come.
