Help please...crocheted slippers
I am making a pair of slippers (my first time at a clothing item) and I
don't understand the Finishing instructions. FINISHING Join pieces as follows: Place Top on Sole with wrong sides together.(I understand this part) Join yarn at Heel; working through both pieces, slip st in each sc of Top easing in Sole fullness; join to first st; finish off. As I understand this, I work up through the bottom (Sole) to the top (Top) and slip stitch in the top. What I don't understand is the "easing in the Sole fullness". Very thankful, Christy |

I crochet, but I've never crocheted slippers before (where did you find a pattern?) so unfortunately I don't have a clue what that means either. Hopefully someone else can help with your question. *hugs* Gemini |

I thought I picked the easiest one. *LOL* Christy |

I have a lot of them... but I can't figure out where I put them all at the moment. / Someday when I'm not looking for them they'll be right in my way. ;o) *hugs* Gemini |

*lol* Isn't that how it always goes. : ) The books I use are my
mother-in-laws. She has a few Leisure Arts books as well as a couple of afghan books(which I use liberally). Christy "Not Likely" notinthislifetime@yougottabejoking wrote in message ...

Sad thing is it was only last year that I had been looking through all the books and sorting them by what was in them... toys, slippers, afghans, etc. Then I put them back in the sturdy box I had them in, and I *thought* I had put them in one place... but when I went looking for them they were nowhere to be found. Nevermind... we have a HUGE bookcase that someone gave us (at the moment it's in the garage/workshop)... so when we get that brought in the house and set up where I want it... and when I find my pattern books... one of the shelves will be devoted to them, then I will *always* know where they are. ;o) *hugs* Gemini |

In sewing, "ease in the fullness" refers to cases where one piece has a
longer edge than the one it's being seamed to, and means you adjust the difference in little increments at every opportunity, so you don't have a big tuck somewhere. Hope this helps!
