First of all, I'm a crochet pattern junkie. I buy patterns like they're going out of style. It's a very serious illness...that I love. As a result, I've got patterns coming out of my ears. Thank God for sites like Ravelry, where I can store them because I forget....
But, ever so often, I'll run across a crochet pattern that reminds me that I'm still very much a beginner. I look at it. It looks too complicated. I file it away for a future session, when I can thoroughly torture myself with its difficulty.
Last Saturday, I woke up, wanting to crochet like I'd lost my mind. I looked for a pattern I'd been putting off and ran across the Simply Summer sandals pattern by Two Girls. I was determined to make them, no matter how hard it was, double soles and all!
Well, wouldn't you know, the difficulty only existed in my head? I guess I'm something of a mental drama queen. I whipped those things up in no time at all, and I must say, I am thrilled with the results!
If you're a crocheter, check out their site. They've got some wonderful, darling baby booties! You'll love them!
Hi Gwen, These are adorable. New follower to your blog (followed you over from Facebook). What a beautiful page. Thanks for sharing, it's such a pleasure to read :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for reading my blog!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to figure out Bonita's pattern for her Crocodile Stitch Booties. It frustrates me SO badly because I think I should "get it"! I can easily make the ones from TriflesnTreasures but not Bonita's. One of these days...
ReplyDeleteI have that pattern, too. I haven't worked up the nerve to try it, either. Some day...maybe, lol!
