This week I really got Grannying! I'm hoping by next Wednesday to be actually putting the blanket together! There will be 121 squares, I'm hoping that with a border will be large enough. I made this all with stash yarn, and I sort of overshot and have been running out of colors left and right so we'll see how it ends up!
I also made these slippers based on this pattern. I thought it would be really hard, I mean it's a damn slipper! But it was actually pretty easy to work up! Except that I got as much yarn as the pattern told me too and I still ran out! Oh well!
This is the yarn I used for the slippers and the flower:
Debbie Bills Eco Fairtrade Collection
609 (Purple) 2 skeins
612 (Pink) 1 skein
612 (Pink) 1 skein
I think if I were to make the slippers again I would use a different yarn, this yarn turns out to not be so comfortable to walk on even though it was soft to the touch.
And from the leftover yarn from that project I tried out a flower which I attached a pin to (so you can wear it) based on Attic24's pattern here. Sorry for the blurry picture!
I worked a bit on the Granny Stripe blanket but not really enough to be able to tell the difference since last week. I also tried out this pattern but ended up ripping it out because I got it a little off and want to use different yarn, maybe next week that will be back in progress!
Happy Crafting!
Love the slippers! You are totally making me want to turn to crafts.
ReplyDeleteAll those granny squares make me want to dive into them! They're so colorful and pretty.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the slippers! Great job on them. I'm going to have to try that pattern when I have time.
I love those slippers! I wonder if I remember enough of my crocheting skills to make them...
ReplyDeleteLove those slippers!! I am definitely going to have to try those out myself soon.
ReplyDeleteThose slippers are adorable! So cute.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking for a good slipper pattern, those are perfect! I'm going to have to make a pair. I'm making a granny square blanket right now too! I have a bunch of circles lying around my house waiting to turn into squares, but I had to buy all my yarn for it. Laaame.
ReplyDeleteOh man, all the sudden I want to cuddle on my grannies couch.
ReplyDeleteI love your post. So much to comment on.
ReplyDeleteThe Granny squares look yummy. I might just move my granny square blanket to the top of my to-do queue. And the slippers are beautiful. Love the color choice.
And that flower is so pretty. If you have enough yarn for making two, they might look great on the slippers too!
Glad I'm not the only granny obsessed one here! So glad you guys liked the post!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, the slippers are about the cutest thing I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteThe slippers are awesome! You are a speed crafter!
ReplyDeleteLove the slippers!!! You are a crocheting machine.
ReplyDeleteAnything beyond scarves looks way too beyond compreshension for me! :)
ReplyDeleteThose slippers look super cute, especially with the straps. Do you have to pad the soles?
The epic rat- The soles don't have padding. I think I'd use a bulkier yarn next time because this yarn is getting a bit uncomfortable to walk on!
ReplyDeleteThose slippers look really comfortable. I may have to use the crochet hook for something other than picking up knitting stitches!
