Still hooked

I'm sort of in shock at the moment. Came on to make a new post and saw that I needed to moderate a comment written by the author of Hooked On Murder, Betty Hechtman, which is a book that I mentioned in my last post. (You can read the comment in the previous post.) I was reading more it in the bathroom earlier this morning! Due to my curiosity, I had to skip ahead to find out who the killer is. That won't ruin the story for me. I'm more interested in the gripping crochet parts than anything else. I love reading about crochet almost as much as I like actually doing it. I still have to read about how the group's blanket turns out in the story. I feel like starting another blanket myself.

Here are pics of the slippers I made. As you can see, they start off as rectangles that are gathered at the toe. Whip-stitched the back seams then single crocheted a cuff around.











They're half wool and half acrylic. I put them through a hot water laundering with a few other clothing articles, then dried them in the dryer. I applied puff paint to the bottoms to prevent the slippers from slippin' on the floor while I wear them. Has worked so far. I've worn them a lot since they were ready to be worn. I'm wearing them right now.

I'm almost done with an off-white scarf that I've been crocheting. I've also have started knitting one in thick yarn, but that will take me longer to accomplish.
