Work in Progress Wednesday; Slippers and cats

Crocheted Slippers 04 04 12

Yeah, my crocheted slipper project is almost complete, a few more tweaks and these will be given to my father.

These slippers were created from leftover yarn. I’m thinking about adding some ‘manly tassels’ to the slippers, before I give them to my father.

The crocheted slippers are easy enough for a beginner to make, and took about two hours to complete. Adding the tassels will only take a few moments.

I originally made a pair of crocheted slippers for my mother. My dad saw them, and requested a pair for himself. That was about a week ago. The result, they will now have matching crocheted slippers. Since her crocheted slippers were made with the same yarn… I’m not too fond of the color scheme (I was getting rid of leftover yarn, remember) my mom loves them. By the way, my mother wears hers daily.

Edited to add: I used a size P crochet hook, so that helped speed up the slipper creation. I used a size N hook, to create my mothers slippers; hers took about three hours. The crochet hooks I use are made by Boye.

Another Work in Progress is my Amigurumi Aminkeo project. The pattern can be found in the book Hello my name is Amineko: The Story of a Crafty Crochet Cat. My first dozen crocheted eggs were completed, and a crocheted bag I made for one of my daughter’s Monster High dolls; Clawdeen Wolf.

Oh, I wish I had the time to make some crocheted slippers! My floor tiles are cold and I really dislike the slippers you can buy in the stores. They are just so boring. I watched your video tutorial, my inner voice sreamed: slow motion please! 😀

I’m always so impressed when crocheters can turn out a cool project in a couple of hours. Nice slippers! Looking forward to seeing your kitty come together, too!

Those slippers look great, really warm and snuggly and bright, too. I think tassels would be a great addition.

And yay for Amineko! I made one for Christmas, what a fun and well-designed pattern it is.

Those slippers look super comfy; the tutorial is worth a try for this beginner. Thanks for the tutorial and also for dropping by my e-spot today. 🙂

It’s hot here so we do not wear slippers in the house or bedroom…but I think that cat’s going to be very cute. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done.

Slippers are always on my list to make, but I haven’t done any. I would love to make some for my kids though! And I can’t wait to see your cat! I have a cat-obsessed kid and she would love something like that (and I’m sick of making Hello Kitty things too).

I wish I can create such crocheted slippers, but I don’t have such talent. They seem to be very warm, I like it

Look at your cat laying there in pieces! Looks like you are nearly finished with all the parts! I made both of my heads first and put their ears, muzzle, eyes, and nose on. That made them seem alive to me, and I just could let them lay there without the rest of their appendages! Ha-ha. Whatever works, right? You will love him when he’s finished! Thanks for commenting!
