Fair events and winnings

Well I got the afghan done, I had hoped to blog about my progress but that didnt happen. I completed it the morning it was due to be entered. Tying in the last few ends and pressing it slightly for a finished look. It won first place! I also entered a crochet purse, sew purse and a few other items. Two more days and the fair has come and gone for another year. Now is the time to think of what I can make and enter. Maybe I wont have to scramble the morning of to get things done.... but probably not LOL!

New slippers & Stuff

Two new pairs of slippers made with double strands of acrylic. Made up the patterns which I may post once I get it written down. They are quick and will be super warm. Great for using up stash of one skein leftovers. Single crochet makes the stitches nice and tight too. I love the way the colors look when you blend 2 different yarns together. The purple pair is made with what is now probably considered vintage Dazzleaire and the other purple is Sears brand also possibly vintage! You never know what I will pull out of my vast stash as I have bought out sales from several previous yarn store owners. I figure I can consider my vast stash saving for retirement! Even if I have no money I will have yarn LOL!!

Newest Mary Janes

Here are my newest Mary Jane slipper made from my own pattern using double strands of acrylic yarn. Super thick they will be warm and durable. A great pattern for stash busting too! They can be purchased from my etsy store by clicking the link to the right.
