Ryanair is not known for generosity*, so when my new favourite model, W., arrived to stay with us, she carried only limited amount of luggage. Slippers, deemed essential post factum, stayed at home.
We seldom entertain, so we don't have a stash of guest slippers waiting at the ready. I could, of course, drive twenty kilometres to a nearest shonky shop and buy something made in China, but I chose a different approach.
I dug up my trusty crochet hook and after only a day, these were ready:
Custom made, so they fit perfectly. Colour, pattern, every detail - exactly as requested by the future owner. Money spent: zero, because I used odds and ends from my stash. Petrol burned - none.
It might be a little thing, but this small victory against consumerism really made me happy.
To tell you the truth, I like them so much that although I am not a slipper person, I will probably whip up a pair for myself at some stage :)
