ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE: THE ONE AND ONLY…
ROPE-SOLE!

Tailored Sole-Method, Suitable for any foot-size and applies to ANY crochet/knit slipper.
NO sole-hole-punching!

DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE MATERIALS, YOU’LL FIND THEM IN YOUR KITCHEN DRAWER, OR YOU CAN PURCHASE THEM IN ANY HW-STORE, OR YOU CROCHET THE CORDS YOURSELF!
VERY detailed step-by-step instructions with pics!

This sole is my first and original idea, in order to turn crochet slippers into street shoes! I've been obsessed by this project for months, and I’m so happy with the simpleness of the final result, which I’m now shearing with you!
After the success with The Crochet Sole, I feel confident that you can handle this challenge too! The crochet-sole is super, but this one is the best! It’s strong, durable, comfortable and has a cool look! And is sooo easy and fast to make!
You can apply your one-piece slippers to the sole, or you can continue to crochet a shoe on the sole. And to make them even more sturdy and durable, put in handmade inner-soles!
Let’s do it together, just follow the simple steps in the TUTORIAL!

And last, but not least; The out-door treatment which will transfer your slippers into street shoes!
The treatment protects the soles against dirt, dust, wear and tear. And is just wonderful to walk on! So soft and flexible! NOTE: With a good rope-sole, you don’t even need the treatment!

THIS pattern includes:

11 pages PDF with written instructions, and lots of step-by-step images!
Tutorial for the rope tray-soles
Tutorial for the inner soles
Tutorial for how to assemble slippers to soles
Tutorial for the outer-sole treatment

Ethnic Signs Earrings.€20

I made these earrings to compliment the Ethnic Signs Necklace
http://www.etsy.com/listing/80407965/black-and-brown-bone-and-natural-hemp
I used five strands of natural hemp twine and threaded onto them a black tube bone bead and a brown round bead both incised with patterns. I then knotted the five strands together and finished off each strand with tiny wooden seed bead and then a knot to hold them securely.
I finished the earrings with antique brass ear wires.

Wonderful natural colours! Ethnenticity!

Length: from hook 5.5 cms. (2.25 inches)
