CROCHETERS -- March 1, time for our Crochet-A-Long! [View All]

[Morgana LaFey]

The pattern we're using is here: http://www.ipbolaget.com/users/ce03922/slippers.html

and this thread has some pre-discussion on the subject:

So for those who may not be familiar with them, a Crochet-A-Long is just a cyber group who are all doing the same pattern (or sometimes different patterns on a different theme -- all socks, or everyone using orange yarn, or whatever, but usually patterns). Anyone can join, and for our CAL, anytime.

So, chime in whenever ready, at any time. For starters, tell us about what yarns and colors you're using, and anything else. Are these for you, or someone else? Etc.

Questions are welcome (except don't look to me for answers -- I'm a knitter, not a crocheter, so this is going to be an adventure for me -- actually, my very first "project" in crochet).

My slippers are going to be regular ole Red Heart (or some other inexpensive) black acrylic I happen to have on hand for the part that will be the sole, and then I'll switch to Lion Brand Jiffy I'd bought for another project that didn't work out at ALL. The Jiffy is another inexpensive yarn, this one in deep jewel tones, one of the few variegated yarns I've ever liked even a little bit.

If I like the slippers after I've done them nearly as much as I like them in the photo, I'll do other versions (including WOOL to make sure I've got something really nice and warm for my tootsies).

I'll take a photo of the yarn later, maybe even today, and post a link.

Okay, we're OFF and running!!!!!
