I saw your comment re: slippers! see if you can open the attachment above, this is Julia Dees slipper pattern and it is soooo easy and they always come out lovely. If you look at my pictures you can see some finished ones, is this the sort of thing you are looking for??
Welcome, Liane. Fate brought me here, too, several years ago. I'm in suburban Philly. Where is Hookstown? Sounds like the perfect town for the crocheters in our group! I've been knitting squares but I signed up for a crochet class so I can expand my options. So glad you joined us!
