A bit of baking went on this weekend,
a habit I'm getting back into
as the fall weather keeps us inside more:
~zucchini muffins for breakfast this week
~these chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies for snacks
and
~marie-helene's apple cake
}no mixer involved, just my old egg beater...
No picture of the finished product
as it was eaten very quickly with
a bit of whipped cream on top.
A simple cake that is just delicious!

The slippers are my most recent crochet project.
When I saw a picture of them online,
I couldn't resist purchasing the pattern.
They work up quickly using
two strands of worsted weight yarn
and a larger size hook.
I added a couple of vintage buttons
from my button tin.
On Ravelry here.
They are lovely Deb. I am currently learning to crochet which is a bit tricky after decade of knitting.
ReplyDeleteThose slippers are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog - have knitted your dishcloth x 2!staci king
ReplyDeleteIs there a similar slipper pattern to knit? I love them!! but, :( , I don't know how to crochet.
Sorry - I don't know how 'staci king' got into my post - please delete my post, but please let me know if there is a similar knitting pattern for the slippers. Also, I bought one of your bags several weeks ago - love it!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like the bag you bought :-) There is a similar slipper pattern in a book by Erika Knight called Simple Crochet.

Thanks for the visit!

I'm sorry, you wanted a slipper pattern to knit and I gave you the name of a crochet book--I must be getting a little tired. If I find a knitted pattern I will let you know.
ReplyDeleteThanks Staci!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rose! Hope you are having a nice Spring-best wishes with the crochet :-)

Those are the cutest slippers!!
ReplyDeleteYou always find the nicest patterns.
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to get busy!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered the pattern and am looking forward to making some of these cuties! Our schools are closed next week for Thanksgiving so that means no work for a week. Guess you know what I'll be doing ;-)
