I just love Fall colors
Mood:  cheeky
Now Playing: crochet slippers

Fall colors are my favorite colors. I used Red Heart yarn, the color fall to crochet these slippers for myself. I like them so much, that I am going to crochet some for family and friends. I found the pattern in Interweave Knits Holiday Gifts 2006. the pattern is easy and works up fast.

I crocheted this cute little Ribbed sweater for Elvis in a couple of days. I made it a little smaller then the pattern called for, because the one in the pattern was way to big for him. I used Red Heart yarn, the color Sierra. The pattern can be found at
