How’s your week going? Hopefully floating along just like this leaf in the river I spotted yesterday when I was out on my walk!
When I posted my WIPs earlier in the week LOTS of people asked about the crochet slippers I was wearing…
Cute aren’t they?
Sometimes when I’m browsing around the interweb I fall in love with a little bit of crochet and I have to say this was the case with these slippers!
These lovely little house shoes are designed by Tara Murray over at Mamachee. Here’s her version:
You can buy Tara’s lovely crochet patterns at her Etsy store, she even has a permanent discount if you buy more than one pattern (sweet!)
With the possibility of a bargain to be had, who am I to stop with one pattern?
That’s right I got two! The slippers I’ve made for the children are called the Gailee slippers which are totally customisable – sized from children to adult – not to mention super adorable!
Tara’s patterns are superb, well written with lots of photos to explain any tricky bits and even some tips and tricks (this was the first time Ive ever glued in an insole, and it worked a treat).
And now for the REALLY good news:
It’s time for a giveaway!
Tara has generously offered five lucky Green Dragonfly readers the chance to win two Mamachee patterns each from her Etsy store! There are literally dozens of patterns to choose from…
Would you choose this pattern?
Or this one?
How cute are these??
Or maybe, like me, you’d like to make these?
So if you would like the chance to win please leave a comment below to enter the giveaway. And let your friends know too! Ill make the draw next week on 27 May 2015, and in the meantime head over to the store and imagine all the cool things you could crochet if you win, or buy a pattern (or two) 🙂
Thanks Tara and good luck everyone! Jxox
