November 24, warm feet

Today I received an e-mail with a photo of these warm slippers I made for someone.

I used a pattern, but had to improvise because the yarn I used was not as thick as in the pattern. I fitted it around the ankle and then made a drawing of the feet to know what the form of the slipper had to be. She has very pointy toes, the ones I made for myself are more broad and round (finally took the time to weave in ends and sew a leather sole under them).

November 10, minecraft pig

Well, the small crochet parts of Friday have become a minecraft pig for my nephew's birthday. I forgot top take photo's when I finished it, so I took some with my Phone.

 I Always make some nice bag or sack for my children and nephews with as many euro's as the years they turn, so this little piggy is a real savings account as well.

It is made of block (just like in the game Mincraft my nephew plays) although the head is somewhat smaller because otherwise the pig cannot stand up because it's head is too heavy (filling is just a scrap of some filling I had left).
