Granny Square Slippers. My cousin Katie recently spent some time in the Republic of Georgia and brought me back these amazing blue and pink crocheted slippers.

Granny Square Slippers

She reported that similar slippers were for sale at all the marketplaces, always in bright and unexpected color combinations. Upon closer inspection, I saw that each slipper was made up of six equally sized granny squares. How beautifully simple! I love when intelligent design meets handcraft, when innovative engineering meets a house slipper. For my take on the traditional design, I wanted the slippers to look even more homespun and funky, so I used Manos del Uruguay's Handspun Semi Solid yarn. Adjusting the size of these slippers is so easy that I made a pair for both my husband and me. The Materials Women's Slippers 3 skeins of Manos del Uruguay's Handspun Semi Solids.

My husband was the delivery man, and he took the kids and left everything at her house when we knew she wouldn't be home. By the tone of her voice, I think she was very surprised! I'm going to work on a variation of this blanket for a baby and list it on Etsy at tillie tulip. Hope you have a peaceful Sunday! Chevron Blanket. I saw this blanket on Pinterest awhile ago and decided to make it.

I hate buying patterns, especially for things that are the easiest. If you know how to single crochet, then you can make this blanket. After a bit of searching I found this pattern. And modified it a little to get what I wanted. Here's the pattern. Hook size: I Yarn: I love this cotton in red, white, and yellow Row 1: With white, ch 183.
