I always like to carry a little crochet around in my bag, just in case you know? Don't want to be caught out with idle hands at all. So the other morning when I was off to meet a friend at the beach and I did not have a small enough project on the go, I threw some wool and a hook in my bag and thought I would just start a granny square.
Unsure of what to make with it, my friend reminded me of a pair of slippers I had found at an op-shop a while back. They were not the nicest colour but the ingeniousness of the idea caught me and I bought them home and filed them away with my stash and then promptly forgot all about them. So with them in mind, I churned out a few granny squares and then could not find the slippers. I went searching on Ravelry and found lots of granny square slippers I would like to try but not the ones I had.
Anyway, after beginning my own design and halfway sewing them, I did find one slipper and noted that it was a bit different, having another panel and fold down flap at front and back. Also, It had one big square as the sole and sides. I had made six small squares for each slipper.
This is my first go and although I think I would prefer each square to have a multiple colour scheme, I thought I would finish these anyway and I think they actually turned out quite cute.
The patterned wool is much lighter in tone than the pictures show and is a very warm looking colour. I am happy with this, my first attempt and found a similar pattern on Ravelry which I will try later. As I have a few people awaiting slippers, I am sure to try each of the styles have have found.

Oh, I like those! What a great idea. The granny square was really the only bit of crocheting I could do well - perhaps I should give it a go again...
