Hello all! Thank you Sam for following my blog!! I was super excited when I saw your name!! That being said, on to my blog. :)
So yesterday when my sister, mother, and I were all in town, we went to Hobby Lobby on 71st street. While there we saw some very interesting characters; but that will possibly be saved for another blog. Keep posted for that one. We went there to get a few things for my sister for a project she was working on. Unfortunately they did not have what she was looking for, they were out. Instead we wandered over to the yarn section.
My sister found a pattern book full of crocheted house shoes. Well there were several pairs that caught my eye, but there was one in particular. They looked really fun and goofy. They looked much like a ballet flat with a strap across the top with a little fuzzy ball on the toe (my family and I call them rinky balls). I was looking at yarn to make them, because my sister and I already had determined how we were both going to make a pair. I found some black yarn that had been wrapped with a irridescent green thread wrapped around the yarn. I started to pick those, with a lighter green with the same irridescent thread wrapped around the lighter green yarn.
When I was about to put my skeins in the basket, I saw some white yarn with a clear irridescent thread interwoven. I got this brilliant idea. You see everyone, I'm kind of obssessed with Tinker Bell. I got the idea to take off the strap off the top of the shoe, do the body of the shoe in the light green and then the rinky ball in white. They turned out fairly well. I finished one shoe body last night, and then the other this morning. I sewed the rinky balls on about an hour ago. I really, really love them. I'm kind of a dork, but it was the first project I'd been excited about in quite some time.
So I know that this blog is really short today, but I wanted to share the fun experience. If anyone wants the patter, email me at Classy_Lassy88@yahoo.com. The pictures here at the bottom are of course the houseshoes. :) I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures.
