Since my last post I’ve been working on a couple of non-charity projects e.g. a lapghan for my uncle but I’m now back to focusing on my charity work. Last night I finished off a pair of slippers. I haven’t knitted slippers in years so it was a matter of getting back into the groove. I’m now working on another pair of slippers and juggling starting a charity blanket. That’s how I roll; I always seem to have several projects on the go at the same time.
If you are interested in the slipper pattern it can be found on Bev’ Country Cottage site entitled “Aunt Maggie’s Slippers”. Some of you might refer to this style of slipper as a TV slipper. Interested on how you join granny squares as you go? Here are 2 videos that will take you through the process. One thing that might be confusing for many is the term "treble", this would be a "double crochet" for many of you. I finished the first of the 10 promised blankets a few days ago so have a look. The squares were joined using the "join as you go" technique.
