Anyone for a slipper CAL?

[SeaShelly]

They make great Christmas gifts and they're quick and easy. I've tried this pattern successfully...

 

This one says it's for men, but I just scale down a little and use feminine colors for ladies:

Then this is the same basic pattern for babies...so cute:

I'm going to make a pair for each of the ladies I work with at the animal shelter as gifts.

I have been drooling over a pattern for a pair of moccasin type slippers - would that do?

However my heart is spoken for until Wed. with the charity Squares contest. tty on Thursday.

Darski,

 

Absolutely!! Great looking pattern!! I think my dad would love a pair of these!!

I wonder if I could sew on some sort of non-skid surface to the bottom...?

[darski]

Yes, it is neat - just printed the pattern off and need to think yarn colours and types while making squares...

[goofy]

I need to do this like I need another hole in my head but I would like to make some baby booties. Or maybe some cute adult size for a family christmas exchange. Are we all doing different patterns or the same?

[SeaShelly]

I think whichever patterns we like is fine.

 

I made one slipper last night from the first pattern I posted, and I had to frog the whole thing...long story, but it came out looking funky. LOL

 

Starting over this evening.

I use fabric paint, the stuff that comes inthe squeeze tubes with the fine point. It works great, kids love it too! You can personalize their slippers so that they know exactly what is theirs.

I would like to join this. I need to get on the ball for Pine Ridge anyway I can always make lots of slippers for them. I use this pattern a lot. It's easy, and warm. I love it. I've made about five pairs of these so far. Here's a sample (these are long gone, but to see what they look like...) I can't wait to see what patterns other people use, too.

To make it fit a women's size 7 I used a I hook.I used simply soft yarn.I have to finish the other slipper and plan to make more for hioliday gifts. Leslie

[darski]

[Sidnee]

I would love to join this slipper CAL. I want to make the Drops Design slippers that was posted a few days ago or either Erika Knight's Turkish Slipper. I will pick up some yarn in the next few days and get started. Will post pics when done.

This is the pattern I used to make my first slipper, I still have yet to make a second one, but I want to do a few more pairs as well. Perhaps one for each of my sisters and friends for Christmas. Hmm...I need to start a list.

[saraelizabeth]

this sounds neat. can someone plz tell me what frog is? i hear it a lot but don't know what it stands for. Thanks!

Sara to frog means to rip it out 'rip it, rip it, rip it...' (Like when you make a mistake and have to rip it out..) Get it?

(See all the new things you learn at Crochetville?)

[SeaShelly]

Tina,

 

I made one slipper last night from your pattern!! WooHoo! It came out great...at first I could not figure out the pattern for the Version 1 cuff...I just couldn't wrap my brain around it, then I realized it meant to go UP AND DOWN and not around!! LOL

 

Thanks so much...and I love the tummy in your slipper pic! LOL

[Mom w/a Motif]

Yup, the UP and DOWN makes the 'ribbing'. And, I love that tummy too. He used to try to get into all my pictures. He still wants me to take pictures of him; he's a monkey.

 

I can't wait to see your slippers Shelly! I want to get a pair started, too. I know I saw a pair of slippers someone here at Crochetville made up that were cool. I wanted to try them; but our computer crashed since then and I don't have it bookmarked... I'll probably just make another one of the pair I linked to...

Yay! I found the slipper pattern I was talking about (in my last post.) Woo Hoo! I love this slipper pattern. It wasn't in 'accesories', so then I tried 'miscellaneous', then I tried 'clothing' and searched 'slippers'... Here it is! And this is the thread it was in if you are curious....

 

Tina

[darski]

Has anyone considered this pattern It is very tempting

[Mom w/a Motif]

Darski you are tempting me. I thought I knew which slipper pattern I was going to make. Those are so cute. I guess I will have to tell myself, make these first, then those...

 

Tina

[darski]

Yeah, I'm guessing it will be about 3rd on my list too.

[SeaShelly]

*** Darski...that is SO CUTE!! Sheesh! At least I'll end up with lots of slippers to give away, huh? LOL

 

I got a little dog bite at work today...pray my finger doesn't hurt too badly to crochet tonight.

[Mom w/a Motif]

Sea Shelly I am just wondering where you work that you would get bit by a dog. I hope it isn't too bad. Do you know the dog? What if it had rabies? We had to put one of our dogs to sleep for that reason (it kept biting people in our family; namely our youngest son.)
