 These comfy, thick slippers worked up in less than a day. I'm calling them my Mister Roger Slippers because they hang out in the side pouch of my craft room recliner and I slip off my other shoes to put these on. They're pretty perfect. I also may or may not have bought a bunch of different colors to make more for a listing in the future. We'll see...

 My skull sweater is done! 8 months of work, 37,139 stitches, plenty of frogging to get it to fit just right, and so many opportunities to grow my skills with new stitches and new ways of garment construction. I'm excited it's done and that the temperature up here is allowing for a couple more days of sweater weather. Thanks if you've been following my updates on this thang. It was an adventure, now peace out!
Pattern: Dainty Bones Pullover by @restless.hooks Yarn/Colorway: 100% superwash merino DK/Heartless by @handful_of_yarn  “You Know What I Love About Appa The Most? His Sense Of Humor.” - Sokka "Failure is only the opportunity to begin again. Only this time, more wisely.” - Uncle Iroh Flameo Hotman! I've started working on my APPA-inspired pattern. Yarn color has been figured out and purchased. The hope is he will be 24" long, 9" tall, 7" wide, and 100% soft with no-chokable counter-parts. After drinking some cactus juice, I've got one foot figure out and completed! The most tedious part was making the 18 little paw pads and then hand stitching them on. But I was able to power through as we finished watching Book 3's final episodes with our boys. They loved every second of it!  This arrow detail alone has taken me 4 days and over 10 hours to figure out in order to get the straightest edges possible. I couldn't find anything online to help me even know where to start. I used the front and back of multiple homemade blank charts and crocheted through so many testings. It turned out that all I needed to do was trust my instincts and just crochet.  Man, it has taken me 5 starts and restarts to get Appa's face figured out and the proportions the way I wanted them. I've totally forgotten about the arrow's struggle. This completed head is just the base layer for all his separate features like the horns, ears, cheeks, nose, and eyes. I'll add those later but for now, here's an update on my progress and an exhale of satisfaction.
