My Life is Forever Changed!

Have you heard of the foundation-less double or single crochet?  Until tonight, I had not.

 I started making a mason jar cozy to dress up a gift I'm making, and the pattern called for a "foundation-less double crochet."

Pardon?

The pattern's instructions were not very clear about this special skill, so I went to Crochet Spot, which has some great tutorials, and I was on my way.  The link take you to the foundation-less double crochet tutorial, but the link under "Inspiration" is to the main page.

In other news, I finished TWO projects last night.  In my mom's circle of friends, I have become known for making Bonita Pattern's Crocodile Stitch Booties.  At Christmas, I was making a delivery via a Christmas party (classy, I know) and when another one of my mother's friends saw the finished product, she ordered two pairs (one boy and one girl) to have on hand "just in case."  She gave me no time-table, and therefore they are only now being completed.

"Boy" Booties (I also made little boxes for them)

"Girl" Booties


Here are some previous examples of the Croc Booties (I make different "rises"):

"High Rise" in Caron Country Spa

"High Rise" in Knit Picks Chroma Fingering "Guppy"

Love this pattern!
