Crochet Me Crazy

I have been crocheting for at least 5 years now almost daily and have made hundreds of slippers but I found myself astonished at the brilliance of the people that come up with these patterns! It's a simple easy to follow pattern but I didn't really understand how it was going to come together to make what was supposed to be a slipper. I just continued doing what the pattern stated and lo, and behold -- it is a slipper!! Wow, no sewing or seams on this one. This is crocheted all in once piece. Amazing pattern design! Apparently this slipper has been around for awhile. I just had never found it until now. This is why I love to crochet so much. I'm still learning.

I got the pattern from this Annie Potter book:



They look kinda goofy when they aren't on your foot.

Once you get them on, they look totally different.



I made this bootie style pair from the same book. It uses the same technique. It looks especially goofy when its not on your foot but when you put it on, it's quite cute I think!



I almost didn't make these because they are all made with single crochet which I hate but they work up very quickly. I'm glad I decided to try it after all.

The kids were invited to youth service tonight with a girl from Alison's dance. We took them over there to go to that. They both had a good time at that and came home all hyper! They are invited to go with the same youth group to the corn maze in Hondo Friday night. I told them they couldn't go because some of my sister's are coming to town. They had such a good time tonight...they are begging to go to that on Friday now. Jeff says we should go ahead and let them go...we'll see.
