I am an experienced Knitter who has turned to crochet in order to complete some vintage baby items from our family. I am making some headway and especially after using your wonderful pattern. In the beginning, I felt a little like Goldilocks crochet mistress. My first two tries are actually hysterical. Tonight, though, I finally did it! I made this beautiful slipper out of the LionBrand ice cream cake and I am so proud. Thank you for gifting us this incredible pattern!
