Week 20 challenge (07-16-14): It's Christmas in July! Start by planning and beginning Christmas and/or Holiday projects.
Answer: Last year before Christmas I designed these Insanely Fast & Easy slippers, and wanted to write the pattern, for myself to make different sizes for family members, and for others in case anyone else wanted a quick gift to make.
These are the prototype slippers I made for hubby, which he wears constantly. Well, except for now in the summer! He's a hunter, so I made them "camo" colors by using 3 different colors yarn - brown, green and beige. They are made with 3 strands of yarn and an N hook. (Click on the pic for more info).
Writing the pattern is more difficult than I thought it would be! Providing references, charts, conversion tables for others that don't know how to reduce or increase sizes proves quite a challenge. I'm getting close, though, and maybe seeing light at the end of the tunnel as far as getting it published.
Until next time!
