As a child my mother used to make these awesome chrochet slippers,.. I can still remember sliding around the kitchen as if I had wheels on my feet. I have tackled the quilting, scrapbooking, and even soap making for kai's dry skin, lol. But the slippers seemed to elude me until I bought Chrocheting for dummies,... yes, they have that title. While I was out for my knee surgery, my mother in law helped me get the basics with a beautiful star patterned washcloth. Now I have over 30 of them, lol... and decided to move on. I am currently working on a beautiful arghan for my hubby, It is an actual recplica of the American flag,... very cool, Hopefully he will get it for our 9th anniversary (fingers crossed,... its a bit complicated). In between we have the slippers and I am having so much fun with it....I have to say thanks ma!!! I am including a pic of the Mother-Daughter pair I've made,....Quickly I might add, yay!!! Oh Btw,... to all of the grannies out there....Love you to bits,....and to a soon to be new one,....I will get soooo many miles out of this one,....Love you :-)
