What I’ve been up to:
Pattern: Adult Mary Jane “Skimmers”, by Sylvia Schuchardt
Yarn: Lion Brand Cotton Ease, various colors
Hook: 5.5 mm (I)
I made a couple more than the ones posted above; they were fast, and they were fun. But it was even more fun to watch my friends’ faces as they excitedly tried on their new MJs. They make great house slippers or anytime you want to keep your feet warm and comfy. And best of all, they are machine washable! The pattern comes in various sizes, and are pretty true to size. My first one, though, was a bit messed up because I didn’t read the directions correctly; for the body of the shoe - I doubled the yarn when I shouldn’t have. If you don’t make stupid mistakes like that, you should come out with exactly what the pattern says it ought to be - a great pair of Mary Janes! =)
