Houseslippers for the workplace - crochet
12/02
Whoop, whoop! Second day alone on the job and it's calm on the canal. Perfect to start my pair of slippers to walk around here. (Can I finally do as home and put my feet on a chair!) And I'm planning on using my cheapest wool (Royal from Zeeman), so it doesn't matter if they only last a couple of months. If they wear out, I get to make a new pair!!!! So, as usually, I start browsing some patterns on the net. I found quite a few I liked, but only a couple that I'm into at the moment (I don't feel like stitching up parts, I just want to start and finish in a quickie). Ravelry (offcourse) offered my solution (and a couple back-up options for after the wear and tear...).
And now - let's get hooked!
Okay then, shift for today is almost over and I just finished up the first slipper of the pair. And it fits snugly!
The stitches are easy enough, but somehow the writing of the pattern itself didn't make sense all the time. But hey, that's why improv was invented ;-) So, yes, I tweeked the design a little bit, but not that much. I'll try to write down the stitches in an orderly fashion to post later.
I'm not working for the rest of the week, so the other slipper will have to wait for my return. And by then I might have gotten the pics and the written pattern ready, but no promises!
This is a really fun little project. I picked up my hook and the same evening it was finished. It's actually my bf's fault I started this one, I was just starting my new knittingfase and he said: "I learned to crochet in elementary, give me that hook, I'll try it again."
Offcourse, he gave up after about 5 tries and asking to show it about 300 times. But those 300 examplary stitches made me realise that crochet is fun and easy and quick and way less painfull then knitting in the beginning. So I picked up my book with my knittingpattern and looked for a little crochetproject. And so I found this springbonnet.(See patterns)
I only had my 3.5 hook and I used a semi-similar yarn and I did'n really care about the gauge, because it was just for trial.
But it went great and the same night it was finished and it even looked good enough to actually cut the thread of the skein! (For other 'just for fun/trial'-projects I don't allways really finish them of, because I make them just for my own pleasure and I don't know who else I could give it to. So I just pull them out again and start a new project!)
So now my little niece-on-the-way has a present ready, just in case the blanket I'm also working on doesn't get finished in time of her birth :D
