Dish Cloth

Hey, I finished my four dish cloths! Here's a pic of the last one, I was trying to learn some new stitches and use up the last of the cotton.

Still need to iron out some kinks in my technique... ok a lot but it's worthy of dirty dish water!!!

Slippers

This is the finished slipper, the other one still needs a little more done on the front.

I'm almost done! DS needs a pair of slippers for camp this weekend, so last night I decided to see what I could come up with using the last of my da's yarn (the stuff I use to make his blanket. ) I had almost enough. If I had made the slipper smaller I would have been able to finish. DD is getting another ball at Michale's, using the awesome 50%off coupon on one item.

This is going to be my prototype I have a few ideas for how I'd like to make them. The one thing I have found with crochet is that it is so much easier to be random and its almost like sculpting with yarn if that makes sense. I have no pattern, just following what makes sense as I go along and in the end I can still make something that resembles what I was trying to create. Two thumbs up for the crochet hook! Oh I'm trying to write down what i've done, but i thhink I need to study crochet lingo some more cuz what I have on paper confuses the heck outta me.

This is the sole of the slipper, just for now because I have some ideas for making and felting soles that would be more durable.

Papa's Blanket

Here is picture of the blanket I crochet'd (what is the spelling for having completed something with a crochet hook?) for my Da this Christmas. I asked him how he got such a great shot, he let me know he hauled out his ladder and climbed up to take the shot.
