What are you working on this week?

What are you working on this week?  Do you have any lingering WIP's to finish?  Perhaps a desire to put your needles and hooks to work on a charity project or new design? Here are a couple of projects I've been working on ...

Made for The Pink Slipper Project

These are slippers made for The Pink Slipper Project.  Three are adult and knit with one of the simple and fun basic slipper patterns ( Signature Worsted Weight Knit Slipper pattern designed by Rachel Terrill).

You'll find many fun slipper patterns to knit, crochet, or sew on the website.  The other, smaller slipper is for a child and was inspired by the free pattern from Polar Knit, Easy Family Slippers.  I used RedHeartSuperSaver worsted weight  in Turqua, Delft Blue, and Royal. As with all charity projects, please remember to check yarn requirements and instructions before you begin and always respect the pattern copyright.

My WIP, Sea Breeze Top, a free LionBrand Pattern

I'm back to working on my WIP, LionBrand crochet Sea Breeze Top after taking a few days away. It's really simple to make and goes quickly. I chose CottonEase in Violet for this project.  It's going to be soft and durable and a perfect addition to any summer wardrobe.  I'll be working on the straps soon.

Here's to finished projects, wip's and a much needed rainey afternoon.  Chocolate would be good too.

Do you sew, knit or crochet?

Slippers are knit and made with Red Heart Super Saver Yarn  in Royal and Turqua

Here's what I've been working on this week for The Pink Slipper Project.  I'll be making a few more this weekend to donate next week.  Just felt like sharing a bit, today.

Join in the fun and help others heal by making slippers for The Pink Slipper Project.  There are a variety of  knit, crochet and sewing patterns to choose from.  You can also go to CreatingTheHive and follow along there. Snag their banner from the website (also on my r/h sidebar if you're reading this on blogger) and spread the word.

Allow the healing to begin, for yourself and others.
