Edit Aug 25, 2013: I have included a You Tube video link on how to do the front and back post DC, you can find it here. Edit Oct 13, 2017: I am excited to see that this is my most popular pattern to date. I was inspired to make this after seeing a vintage knitted slipper pattern. Many people have asked how to change the size of this pattern. I have not experimented with this pattern enough to truly know the answer, except try different yarn types, hooks sizes, and experimenting the amount of dc's in row 1. Speaking of row 1, if you know how to do the magic ring, you can do that instead of putting 14 dc into a single chain. Edit June 17, 2021: I now have a video for these slippers: This slipper has the front and back post dc's around the entire slipper. I think this gives the slipper a thick textured around the entire foot. So here is my pattern for the ribb

New Shelled Sock Pattern

Pin It Edited April 10, 2011 I was in the mood to make crocheted socks. I was going to make these cabled socks: http://www.scribd.com/doc/1084574/Cabled-Socks I got the toes done and started to work the cables and did not like how it was working out, so I decided to go with a shelled pattern I created: Materials: finger weight sock yarn Size B hook. Toe Chain 8 Round 1: 3 sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in the next 5 chain, 3 sc in the last chain, working on the opposite side of the foundation, sc in the free loop on the next 5 chain, (16 sc) Round 2: working in continuous rounds, sc in next sc, 3 sc in the next sc, sc in next 7 sc, 3 sc in next sc, sc in the next 7 sc, (20 sc) Rounds 3-9: work 2 sc increase at each side of the foot, work sc across toes (24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, sc) Start shell pattern: Row 1: sc in next stitch (mark this stitch), skip 2 sc, 5 dc in next stitch (shell made) *skip 2 sc, sc in next stitch, skip 2 sc, shell in next stitch

Mesquaki Casino Trip

About once or twice a year we end up at Mesquaki Casino in Tama, Iowa. I have a 4 hour road trip, so I started a project for this trip. My son bought me a skein of Red Heart before the trip, so the project I am doing is a simple blanket using a tulip pattern. It is one of my favorite patterns. It is like a shell pattern (also a favorite) it is a sc, ch 3, and 3 dc in a chain on the foundation row. On the other rows, it is done in the ch 3 space. I hope to have it finished on the return trip. As far as our vacation, I am spending time with my husband, one of our sons, and brother-in-law. We always enjoy ourselves even though we don't win at the casino.
