Some slippers and a Christmas Eve Giveaway


Hello, you lovely lot.
How are we all? 

Ready for Christmas?
No, me either.

Well never mind.

I've been too busy making slippers! 
They started off life as baby booties (I have new baby twin nieces- awwwww) from a pattern I'd found on the interweb, but me, being me decided to simplify things a bit and create my own pattern...



Very nice I thought.

And then one of my lovely Instagram buddies asked if I could use t-shirt yarn to make an adult version.
Great idea. Game on....
And so, armed with my trusty mega-hooks (12mm and 15mm) I set about my task.


Ooooooo, me likey!



So soft and squidgey (and made using one cone of Hooplayarn with plenty left over, too),

If you fancy making a pair, then the pattern's available in my Etsy shop. Just click on the link over there on the left. The pattern shows how to make various sizes, too.

And now for the second part of my post...

How about a Christmas Giveaway to cheer you up?


You could be the winner of all of these lovely patterns from my Etsy shop!!!!
It's easy

1. Be a follower
2. Leave me a comment here to let me know you'd like to enter!


That's it. No jumping through hoops.

I'll draw the winner on Christmas Eve.

Good luck,
And have a very Happy Christmas!
