Even More Slippers!

As you can tell, I was serious about making a bunch of slippers. Most of these are designated as small gifts. I think I will take 1 pair for myself and that is because I ran out of yarn making one pair and had to try to coordinate with some yarn from my stash. The 8th pair down is the pair I'm talking about. Some of these I have made without the cuff because I wasn't sure if I had enough yarn when I was using partial skeins to make. I like them just as well without the cuffs.

Ladies--









Men--




The pattern for the men's and ladies slippers can be found here.

Big Men's Slippers--



This upsized pattern can be found here.

I do believe this is all for now. Take care everyone and happy spring time.

Slippers Everywhere!

Lately, I've been replenishing my supply of slippers. I like to have some on hand to give as gifts if I go visiting somewhere or otherwise need a last minute gift for someone. I can leisurely make a pair in 1 or 2 evenings. This pattern is great because it comes in sizes for men, women and children.

Here are some that I have made for men--

Stockpiling a Few Pairs of Slippers

I have enough slippers made for Christmas gifts this year but I made a few extra pairs because I never know when I will need some additional pairs for unexpected or last minute gifting. Here's a look at the ones I am stockpiling.





If you've been here before, you probably already have the link to the pattern for these because they are one of the most frequently made items here at Sharon's Eclectic Retreat. For the newbies, here's the pattern's link

Hope y'all are keeping toasty warm. Happy holiday season.

Hugs,
Sharon

A "Batch" of Completed Projects--

I have had these projects finished for a couple weeks and have just  now gotten around to taking pictures and posting them. These are for a special person and I don't care if this person reads about them before receiving or not because this person deserves a smile on their face and I hope the anticipation of receiving these things will bring one on. This person has always been special to me and I don't know how to emphasize it enough so I decided to crochet some things. Crocheters know, that when you work on projects for your loved ones, you are infused with love and good thoughts and wishes for that person. I definitely wouldn't spend my evenings for several weeks working on something for someone I didn't care for. Okay, enough rambling on. Here's the pictures and pattern links.

0-980 Carmel by DROPS Design:



Scarf for man made with granite stitch: This yarn isn't quite right for color pooling but the design is unique and I like it.








The yarn I used for these projects (except for slippers) is I Love This Yarn in "Camo" and "Dark Olive."  For the slippers I used 1 strand of the camo and 1 strand of "Lace" by Caron One Pounder. This is all for now. I still have more finished projects to post but I will save those for later.

Bless all,

Sharon
