Crochet Mary Jane Slippers

Yarn: worsted weight - blue, light blue
Hook: size 5/6

I was sitting cross legged before the first picture was taken, so my ankles are wrinkly! haha

I made two pairs, one with a size 5 hook, one with a size 6 hook. It turned out perfect for US size 5 and 6 for women. The yarn should be able to stretch to a size and a half bigger. (I found it easier to do with a pair of socks on.)

Clay Sea Turtle


This is the first piece I made in Art Club at Hiyoshi but I didn't paint it until a couple of days ago. It's a very simple project. It only took me one session to finish sculpting.
