One of my favorite things to do


Yesterday I didn't have much energy. Even tho' the energy was not there, I simply cannot sit with my hands folded. The picture is of a tiny pair of baby slippers I made. They are only about 3 1/2 inches long. The pattern I have claims it takes only about an hour to make a pair. Well, perhaps the second pair. It takes me several mistakes while learning a pattern. It also claims that this is what the creator of the pattern found to do with "walnut size balls of yarn". I suspect that is a bit of an exageration. Hummm. What is the opposite of exageration when something is smaller ? Anyway, the slippers are made from verigated yarn and each slipper will be a bit different. I will probably make several slippers and then try to match the pair to the closest in color.

Cute little booties. My Mom crocheted a sweater, cap and booties for Carol before she was born. She wore the sweater and cap but the booties were too small from the start. I crochet and knit both, but I much prefer knitting.
Have a great day.

For me, crocheting is more fun. It is quicker, thus more satisfying. I like the look of knitted garmets and other things better than crocheted. Connie
