It’s a Mother’s Day miracle!

T is officially crocheting! Yup yup - he made two practice squares that we've lovingly dubbed, "Thing One" & "Thing Two" :lol:

He's working on a simple single crochet scarf. He's so proud, as am I! I think he's really got the bug!
Now, soon, he'll have to have his own yarn stash! cuz mommy don't share! :lol:

Also, on this day of miracles, I crocheted something for me! That's right... I made something for me! And, as if that weren't enough - I made a pair of slippers!!!

Want the pattern?

Two... one, two! I have always had issues with making two of anything that have to match!

J joked that the first one looked great, but I'll probably mess up horribly on the second one. As if he'd cursed me, sure enough, I had to frog the second one twice! Ugh -
I finally finished it, but I can feel a difference in one side that I don't in the other, but I'm still proud of my accomplishment... making *2* slippers in the same day... for ME!!! :-D

Oh, and last but not least - square #6 is done! YAY!!!!

That is the 1/2 way mark!!
I skipped over mine, cuz I haven't found inspiration yet. But that's ok. I think I know which one I'll do for me.
