Knitted
Slippers
Materials list:
Using 2 strands of yarn held
together (one from each end of skein ). leaving an 18" tail, cast on 29 sts.
Row 1 : knit each stitch
Row 2: k 9, p1, k9, P1, k9 repeat
rows 1& 2 for 25 ridges (2 rows make a ridge). Or 1 1/2" less than foot
length.
Next Row: k1, p1, across row. repeat
for 11 rows when complete, wind yarn over end of needle with knitted piece
on it.
With your fingers slip stitches one
at a time over this yarn, this will create a loop. When all sts are on this
loop, cut yarn, leaving about 18" slip end of yarn thru this loop and pull.
This will draw up stitches to form toe. Fold slipper right sides together
and with a G hook, slip stitch toe for about 4 ridges. Slip stitch heel in
same manner using yarn tail at beginning. Add pom pom to front of toe. This
pattern can be adjusted for size using smaller needles and 27 sts instead of
29 which is adult size.
SUN CATCHERS
3 Envelopes
Unflavored Gelatin
8-10 Tablespoons
Water
Food Coloring
Plastic plate
In a saucepan on
low heat mix the water, food coloring and gelatin. Stir continuously and
cook about a minute until thickened. Pour onto a plastic plate and remove as
many air bubbles as possible. Let set for an hour before removing from
plate. The gelatin will be firm to the touch but will still be flexible. Use
cookie cutters to cut shapes then punch a hole in each cut out design where
you would like to hang them from. Allow to air dry until stiff, approx. 2-3
days. Once dry run string or fishing line through the hole and tie closed to
create something to hang up your sun catcher with.

An artist can use anything as a medium, and I do mean anything. From
painting fine art on beans seeds to assembling junk into great towering
sculptures.
