Does anyone have Mahabis slippers?
Comments (11)I have them! DH bought them for me, and at first I thought he was a little crazy. But I really like them. They're cozy warm and you can wear them in the house, to walk outside to get the newspaper or mail.... I am not sure if I would wear them to drive, but I'd wear them for a short walk outside and definitely around the house or porch. I would say they run a little small, but they stretched out a little bit with wear....See MoreDoes anyone crochet slippers?
Comments (26)I know that this is not slippers, but here is a link to a crochet technique that will encourage one to step up from granny squares into something quite different. https://www.tinnacrochet.com/ Her crochet is quite different. It looks complicated but it is just crochet stitches, nothing more. I haven't tried it yet but have it bookmarked. That counts, right? It looks like you would want to learn a technique for securing the yarn ends as you go because there are a lot of color changes here. I am of the opinion that crochet is best suited to creating lacy motifs and does not always produce a nice fabric with a good hand to it. Both knitting and crochet have their strengths and weaknesses for creating a fabric. I am actually crocheting something right now. For what I am doing, crochet gives me the texture that I need for it. Plus, it uses another set of muscles in the hand. Sometime it is good to switch off from one skill to another. I am so tempted to crochet my little grand daughter a little poncho. It sounds so last century but I am attracted again and agian back to a pattern that I saw on Rav. The real obstacle is that I don't think that she would ever wear it unless I was there to encourage it. She is five and lives where it is warm most of the year. But, this pattern just so intrigues me and keeps calling. I look at it once in a while and, again, that counts, right?...See MoreMy poor wip slipper. I need to start counting and paying attention
Comments (29)For some patterns you will go under just one loop and not two. But, the normal crochet stitch is to go under the two loops. Using only one loop will produce a different stitch and is valid but not what you are aiming for here. If you so choose to crochet potholders you have to make small tight stitches or they won't be effective to hold hot handles with. You will be surprised to find your fingers getting hot through the spaces in the crochet stitches if you dont' have a tight enough fabric. And do remember to use cotton yarn for pot holders. Synthetic fibers will melt. For example think of the dishcloths that are popular. You would not want to do much hot pot lifting with one of those unless you stacked a couple of them together for bulk. I tell you this because in a recent search for pot holder patterns I came across a lot that were more for decoration than for real purpose. Or, they were more like hot pads and not pot holders. A hot pad does not have to be as tightly constructed as a pot holder. A pot holder should be a double thickness. There is a popular pattern for a diagonal pot holder that works up nicely with kitchen cotton. Just google it. It is popular and not hard to find....See MoreWhat are you wearing right now?
Comments (79)Every single thing I’m wearing, except undies and house sandals is a hand me down from one of my two daughters.. we donate unwanted clothing and household items to a local charity. I always go through their give-away bags. Right now I’m wearing an Ann Taylor cotton undershirt, black yoga pants (this is because I’m supposed to be doing yoga right now but feeling very unmotivated) long sleeve cotton periwinkle blue top and zippered hoodie because I’m always cold. Well, all I can say is I USED to care! 😂😜...See Morerhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
