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.
