I have been wanting to knit socks for a LONG time now. However, I am an impatient crafter. I want results now, not later. I did some researching, and got a pattern, a tutorial, some yarn, and the needles to knit socks. And I started to knit socks. They are going to take me a very long time. In the meantime, I found a great tutorial on Craftster about how to crochet slippers. I decided to try it out. It didn't take me any amount of time at all, I literally finished them in about half of 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' (movie, not book). Here they are, in all their glory:
I'm not a giant fan of the colors, but it was a practice run. They were easy and really fun.
Cost breakdown of slippers: Yarn, free (purloined from my Mom's unused yarn kitty)
Buttons, free (donated to my button stash by my cousin, Joey)
So yeah. Free craft projects will abound while I stash-bust. These were fun. More to come.
