Unicorn slippers!

 My 6YO girl is always barefoot at home. So I made a cute pair of unicorn slippers for her. The look just gorgeous! I followed Glimmer Sisters Unicorn Slippers by Brenda K. B. Anderso, available for free in Ravelry. I just changed the colors, white slippers are nice but they would get dirty really fast. So here we are, violet unicorns. I made them with Drops Karisma yarn, and use a bit of antislip layer so my kid will not break a leg sliding along the floor.

New carpet

 Hi there! I hope you are just fine, not suffering the COVID-19 disease.

Anyway, I want to show you the last item I have done. I wanted a washable and colorful rug for my child bedroom. I didn't find anyone we like, so I thought about making one by myself. But, how should I make a rug? I have previously made one from jeans, but I did not have so many old jeans right not. So I thought about using my yarn leftover stash, which was quite big. Then, I crochet c2c technique using 3 different threads at the same time, 2 thin and one thicker. To polish the edge, I made a reverse single stitch (crab stitch) all around the carpet. After crocheting it, I attached an antislip layer at the bottom, so it is no slippery. And this is the stunning result!! I like it very much, and my kid also loves it. It is washable and very colorful. We are so glad with result!
