taking care of business

first some updating. i want to remind people who buy the pattern or have the pattern and stumble upon this site. please go back into the archives for this and check out the first 5 posts. it will help you immensly. The cast on is taken down step by step and there’s also links for alternative cast on’s. also if you want to convert the pattern to circ’s please do. erin tells me you treat the pattern the SAME just instead of DPN’s you have two circs.

now let’s see who’s been making some mary janes:
lindsay has a pretty pair in purple and white. Looks like she just crocheted the straps on as well. great looking mary janes lindsay

rebecca has picked out her yarn and started the turkish cast on. can’t wait to see those pictures, post them soon.

klutzy91 seems to be at a standstill with the toes. let’s cheer her on and hope she’ll post a picture soon.

lesa has finished some pretty blue noro slippers if you scroll down on her page just a bit.

jillian has purchased some long long circs to use magic loop on her mary janes.

stacey
finished a pair and this was her first attempt at anything sock like.

peggy if you scroll down in her blog you will see peggy made a pair in the same colorway as my noro slippers. she did a better job of matching her’s up than i did.

ok if i left you out i can’t find your slippers let me know or send me a linka nd i will post you up here.

pattern

ok “ella” commented but her email is “an error” as my email keeps bouncing back to me. so here is where you can get the pattern you can get it here

http://www.dorkybestfriend.blogspot.com/

OR

if you look over to your left there’s a a link that says piddleloop.com click on it
and then look in the SAME spot on my main blog...see the options of “store” or “blog” click on store. in the store youw ill find erin’s pattern and when you purchase it from paypal it will be digitally downloaded. the money will then be sent to her!
easy peasy.

anyone else recently buy the pattern and make a pair to show off?

more people have joined

***EDITED AND FIXED LINK! (reminder to self never post while high on cold medications AND codine for coughs) ((so sorry april!))

ok here’s a new member meet Apriil looks like she just started out in the blogging world! welcome april. show us the yarn you get for the mary janes!
i want to ask how even are everyone’s slippers? meaning i made two pair for people over xmas and i SWEAR i was following the pattern just fine but the slippers are slightly uneven. and when i went to crochet the strap it was really thick. i thnk lesa told me the other nite you should single crochet 2 so the chain 1 you do ont he turn isn’t an extra stitch. i don’t know. so what do you all think about the pattern? how even are your slippers? who else finished some on here? drop me a line so i can link you and everyone can see. Do you want to join? if so please drop me a line so i can add you. here’s pictures i put on the main blog of the two pair i finished for mxas.



the greenish ball of noro never had a repeat of the colors so the two slippers were destined to be dramatically different. both of those were knit in the smallest size, nat’s sister and mom have tiny feet. they both love things from or involving japanese, hence the noro. but each slipper was slightly longer or slightly shorter than the other all 4 weren’t the same. i should work on that. i know it’s not noticable and it will fix itself with wear, but still. drop a line, sorry i hadn’t updated for a bit there. tell me how your holiday was and how you like the mary janes!

success

i have finished two pair. one of the two have straps. they are the medium size and seem to feel too loose. weird. i am currently knitting 4 pair of size small, we’ll see if it’s any better. i think i am just going to crochet the strap to the other side and not mess with buttons. i plan on making them all first then doing the straps last. crochet seems to go fast. i need to take pictures i swear maybe tomorrow. i’m up in the city cause i get to work this week. so i’m on nat’s mac. i’m glad we’ve had some successful other people commenting along here!

new member alert!

We had a new one sign up, please say hello to jillian she joined us over the holiday weekend. I also posted a picture out front but i forgot to put it here as well. Thanks to erin i fixed my botched kitchner stitch, no more trying to do that while watching teevee.





man....my apologies to stacey two posts ago...this is the second time i’ve broken an HTML link in handtyping the code for links...i looked up and saw carol’s URL and put it twice. Man me and my broken HTML skillz apologize stacey! so sorry!

Posted by Jennifer on 11/25 at 08:24 PM

something to show

hey everyone!  lesley has a blog up and rolling now check it out!

i also finished one of my mary janes tonight. ignore the EFFed up kitchner stitch jobby i did on the end. i discovered i CAN’T do that and watch teevee at the same time. so i’m hoping erin can help me rescue it tomorrow.

i’ll be working on the rest tomorrow..i also ditched the pink and have light blue instead for the crochet part. i like blue and brown together right now.

everyone say hello to carol she is joining us in making some SWEET MARY JANES. This is a complimnet to stacey so i hope she doesn’t mind me sharing. but carol was inspired by stacey, because she’d only knit scraves before and she pretty much just whipped those suckers right out and amazed everyone, including carol.

Posted by Jennifer on 11/17 at 04:26 PM

Proof I’m working on them!

I posted this out front but hey!

Monday of D O O M

Everyone, erin has posted a HEEL TUTORIAL on her blog. go here and take a look. It’s a good tutorial. She is pretty good at explaining stuff even ONLINE! go erin go!
In between sewing today i spied a few people who are done! kat has a pair on! And Peggy has pictures of hers! And Stacey has pictures of hers! And danielle has also put up pictures of hers! And julie has bought pretty yarn for hers! Ann tells me she has finished...perhaps she can get me a photo or bring them to the meeting this week! Anyone else doing well out there?

Today we had errand to run in Valpo, so i went with the family as they met with Zander’s First Step’s People. He’s getting help with speech therapy. I took my slipper along to knit. I was happily knitting along when i realized i didn’t read the pattern very well and screwed up quite a bit. So off the needles it came! I’m starting over tonight. Ugh. Monday of D O O M for my slipper. i need to get going...everyone is going to have two pairs done before i have ONE slipper!
