Mary Jane Slippers Update

I have fully completed one pair of slippers, and mostly completed a second (I got sidetracked by a sweater I'm knitting for Payton). If I can remember, I'll try to post pix this evening. I'm particularly in love with the second pair--it's a beautiful bright yarn, mostly in purples. I just have to complete the straps, but it's using the same yarn as the sweater...

The crochet around the edges and for the strap really isn't something I know how to do well. Also, the black yarn ended up being quite a bit heavier than the slipper yarn, so that threw off the equilibrium somewhat.

I love the colors in this...scanning them don't do them justice. I still crocheted the edges (with my adapted crotchet style that is neither single nor double crochet...), but I've knit the strap instead of crochet. We'll see how it looks when I get the second one done. The solid purple is what Payton's sweater is in.

These are great and look warm. I really like the colors. I bet they look even better in person.

Mary Jane - are you using hemp fibers?
