These are great. Now that I can crochet the ends in as I go I don't mind changing colours.
There is another pair around here somewhere too.
Visit theroyalsisters.blogspot.com for a link to Michelle's etsy store amd check out some of her free tutorials while you are there.
I really must sew some bikinis some time today. I have to send 6 pairs to America on Wednesday. I have 4 already but need 2 more. How do you get motivated?
It's taken me 4 days to make 10 granny squares. The pattern is from Attic24. I made a few alterations, but only to technique.
I don't like to tie knots when I change colours, and I rather crochet the ends in as I go. What is your crochet technique? It seems everyone does it differently.
I have finished 2 pairs of Michelles granny slippers. One more pair and we will get together for a photo. They are a great project that can be finished in one sitting. They would also make a great gift.
Oh, and guess what was for breakfast.
Here is my recipe for pancakes, not sure what others do, this recipe has evolved since I was a teenager.
2 cups self-raising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 tablespoons butter melted
2 eggs
2 cups milk
Just blend all ingrediets and then cook in a greased frypan on low.
We like ours with lemon and sugar, jam and cream or maple syrup.
How do you make your pancakes?
P.S. I have been teaching Monet to crochet. First we mastered finger knitting and now she can hook a mean chain. Any tips on teaching kids to crochet? What stitch is next?
I just purchased this pattern from Michelle at The Royal Sisters.
I am waiting anxiously for it to arrive via email so that I can get hooking.
Photo is from Michelle's flickr stream. Sorry I can't post links from my phone but you can find Michelle'samazing granny inspired patterns on etsy, ravelry and on her blog The Royal Sisters.
I am still the un-proud owner of a laptop with a cracked screen. Hope to get that remedied soon. And I haven't been sewing swimmers. Something about the rainy weather makes me want to crochet slippers and make quilts rather than sew bikinis.
Till next time, which will probably be a while.......
