On Christmas eve I sat down to make myself a pair of crochet slippers. I receive emails from Lion brand yarn http://www.lionbrand.com/ & just before Christmas they sent an email through with free patterns for slippers. I was so excited the fact I could be waking up on Christmas day wearing my new granny square slippers..........but......
(Sorry about the rubbish photo's but I've been trying to take a photo for 2 days & couldn't be bothered to move from my armchair!!!!)As you can see they came out really, really small!!!! The pattern said they're for a adult size 7-9 ... I don't think so.
The sole is 15cm in length.... if any of you have incredibly tiny feet or you have a little girl they may fit... please let me know. They are free to a good home, leave a comment before 7th Jan, I'll do a random number thingy & post them off.
I will try again but next time I'll use a bigger crochet hook.......
im a size 5 so not sure that they will fit....=( very pretty tho
ReplyDeletei get the same email,i havent tried to knit anything that they have sent as yet tho...im often tempted.they have some really nice patterns

They're lovely, Joe, how annoying they didn't fit. I had this problem with sewing slippers, in fact I only ever made one, it was obvious they were tiny!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.

They look like they will fit Jess, so i'm more than willing to give them a home.
