![Confession Time with Katie:
Playing Mario Kart has made me a worse driver. As I drove to lunch with a friend, I wished for a flashing star so I could be invincible and drive through everything.
Also, we're eating bagels for lunch because throwing rules out windows is my new favorite hobby.
Speaking of hobbies, I started a Constellate Hat in the colorway, African Violets by LolaBean Yarn. The first Constellate took me nineteen months so surely i can beat that!
LOL. @marz1pan thought I was knitting a sock for someone with HUGE calves!
In writing news, I plan to send a short story before mid-December so join my Inner Circle Email List if you need a dopamine hit right about now.
I hope you have the Monday you need, Crew! I love you!!!!

A friend of ours emailed The Husband that I should make Tank Slippers.
I think the friend was joking, but The Husband mentioned it to me and I could tell he thought it was cool. I kind of got the vibe that he and the friend thought maybe I couldn’t crochet tank slippers, so in true Katie fashion, I heard, “I double dog dare you to crochet a Tiger 1 Tank”. (It really is shocking that I didn’t get into more trouble as a kid.) I said a quick and fervent prayer that there was a pattern online and googled. My prayer was answered and I even had the yarn I needed. Winning!
Now, my crochet skills are not as good as my knitting skills, so I won’t be entering this in any contests, but it is coming along (much assembly required).
I decided that since The Husband doesn’t wear slippers, I’m only making one and it will be more toy/decoration than slipper. Also, only one tank is likely to be assembled by me in this lifetime. I’m pretty solid on the fact that I haven’t missed my calling as an amigurumist.
Ps. For Socktoberfest, I’m telling myself that a slipper is a kind of sock.
Pps. To see what other folks are working on, go check out Tami’s Amis.

Those are too cute! A slipper totally qualifies for Socktoberfest. You wear them on your feet right.
thanks! Yay for anything worn on the feet being socks.
Note to self: Do not mess with Katie. Anyone who can crochet a tank is a force to be reckoned with.
…says the girl who is posting about heavy glass paperweights that could easily be used as a weapon. :)
WOW I am so impressed that you accepted that challenge– such a cool project :)
how could I not? :)
WHOA! Those are some serious slippers! I’ve never seen this pattern before! And, lol, a slipper is totally kind of a sock.
I know! I can’t imagine running around the house in them! I also don’t want to imagine crocheting and ASSEMBLING two!
Nice slippers!
thx!
Those are too funny! It just boggles the mind what people come up with.
It does indeed. Who’d have thought?
