No sewing

But you know I've been up to something right. I crocheted 1 1/2 pair of Red Heart's free Toe-Up Slippers pattern. I was in need of some slipper socks, these were quick and easy. I used two strands of yarn and for the cuff I used Paton's Twister along with the hot pink, I received the Paton's Twister in my first crochet swap. I'll finish the match to this one tonight.


I know, I know these don't match but I was trying to use up my scraps, I used two strands of yarn but as you can see I ran out of the beige on the second one. I used some fun fur on the cuffs. It took about 3 hours to finish these, crochet is much, much faster than knitting or it might just be I'm faster at crocheting than I am knitting.




I finally finished my first knitted hat, it's the ribbed watchman's cap from Knitting for Dummies, I'm still waiting for this book to show up in Half Price Books, I may have to break down and order it from Amazon.



I'm going to rework the sleeves on this top I think I'm going to cut off to where the elastic is and add cuffs.

My feet are envious! I'm also much faster with crochet than knitting...takes me forever to finish anything knitted.
