Your Glass Slipper is too perfect. I'm going to make up some for my kids, using colours that match their decor, so, when they are having parties, the mess is reduced, and each guest will know which glass is theirs. (For some reason, they are both into Martini parties - James Bond would be proud!)
Are you sure it won't tip over?
It would have to be SO flat on the bottom.
I'd would test it on some inexpensive glassware before I used the crystal...
You know what? I have honestly never tested them. So ya, definitely test them on cheap wine glasses first!! These were my first designs that I did cuz someone asked.
That is a wonderful glass slipper. I expected to find something crocheted for a princess' foot, but that is much nicer! Welcome to blogging. I never thought I would do this, however, here I am, on blogger.com. Enjoy. I also have 4 boys, all grown up, though (32, 36, 38, and 40!! Love 'em. Wouldn't have it any other way. I had foster daughters and god-daughters so filled my need for girly things!! Good luck to you and thanks for sharing.
Giving your pattern a go over Christmas here in God's country.
Cute pattern. Looks easy. I'm going to make some today though I have only some cotton yarn. I'll let you know how it works.
Hello I'm new to crocheting been doing it for 2 tests now do still a newbie. I love these glass slippers I'm going. to give them a whirl for us ladies for our summer holiday. Have you any funky beer mat coasters for thr men in our lives I can't leave them out ?
