jacquard crochet update: i started a jacquard crochet project that i'm really excited about, after starting a bunch of other ones that didn't end up working out because i tried to design them myself and the counting was off. i'd actually seen these slipper booties a while back in an issue of a crochet magazine that is sometimes slightly granny-like but usually okay, and at the time i'd wanted to make them but didn't have the time or good yarns for the project. since i have done two major craft stock up trips this winter and have plenty of yarns and since i'd been super excited about trying out jacquard crochet, now was the time! here is the pattern, it's for cool slipper booties which was another factor in deciding to make the pattern since my pair of slipper boots is currently hanging on by a thread. I never wear them in public (unlike my regular slippers which can pass for moccasins) because they resemble the dreaded uggs, but they're so nice in winter when its fucking FREEZING outside, like right now at a blustery 24 degrees. i have always hated how they look, so it's an exciting prospect that i'll one day have an awesome, colorful, patterned pair that i made myself. knowing me, i'll probably try to find a way to attach soles to them to make them outside-friendly and then i'll wear them in public haha.
