My Slipper Project

I came across a pattern from The Pink Slipper Project website that I will be using to crochet slippers for Hospice patients who could really use some new style slippers that will stretch to accommodate various sizes.. Thank you for sharing your pattern Judy Warehime for sharing your crochet pattern...:O)
I took the option to use single crochet for a tighter stitch to keep feet extra warm...

PATTERN STARTS A THE HEEL & WORKS TOWARD THE TOES















SIZE SMALL FOR CHILDREN ENDED UP MEASURING 9 INCHES

Basic Slouchy Hat 4 ME

Was looking for a hat or beanie that was not to big/too slouchy or even to tight around my head as even a lightly tied bandana can give me a headache with in like 10 mins....
So I came across this slouchy pattern and it worked up great w/ Black I love this cotton from Hobby Lobby that I had in my stash as well as some other random cotton brand I had in my yarn stash :O) 
I am whipping up a few to have on hand one for my car and one for when I am at work since I drive for a living I can really use this to keep the hair freezies out of my face when driving w/ the windows down...This multicolor hat was the first one I made & realized it was very tight (re-read the directions and realized I changed from a DC2tog to a sc2tog  and this made it super tight to me ie a headache I noticed this when I crocheted the black hat and made sure to not do this lol.. Fit perfect I see ripping the multicolor out and fixing in the future..)
