I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful free patterns. My husband has trouble with foot pain due to Diabetic complications (our hardwood floors don't help either...), and your padded slippers are the only thing that has given him any relief. He's tried inserts, diabetic socks, custom-made shoes, etc, and he still has pain. Now he looks forward to coming home and getting into the comfy slippers I made for him. I'm so grateful to be able to do something to help him!

I am almost done making a pair for myself, and everyone at work thinks they're just the coolest thing. I'm passing around your website freely, so I hope I can bring you more site hits as a thank you. If I make more of these slippers for gifts or to sell, I will certainly include a tag providing your information as the designer.

If it would help you at all, please feel free to use any portion (except for contact info) on your web site as a testimonial.

Thank you again. I can't tell you how grateful I am to have stumbled upon your site! =D

Hi Sue,

I just wanted to tell you about my experience with your sneakers pattern! My son, Clark, has cerebral palsy and dystonia. He has not been able to wear shoes for over 2 years now, due to the deformities of his feet. Shoes rubbed really bad pressure sores on his feet that took forever to heal!

I've been putting him in socks with booties over them. Now mind you, he is in high school! The kids are really good with him; but, I always like to dress him like a big guy.

When I found your pattern, I was amazed and not at all sure I could make these. My crochet skills are limited. But, I was determined to make these!

So........I finished them yesterday and he wore them to school today! He was so excited and the teachers LOVE them!

One of the other guys that my son went to school with is now in a nursing home and wants a pair! Since I am so slow (it took me the better part of 3 days, almost non stop!) I did not promise; but, said I will someday. I need time to recover from such a delicate process! lol!

You are an angel to post your patterns and I am just now discovering all that you have to offer on your website.

Thank you,
- Shari

I just wanted to tell you that I love your website and your patterns. I've been crocheting for about 25 years and there is still so much to learn. Your faq's is a big help for me and I can't wait to try some of your patterns. Keep up the great work.

I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO LEARN HOW TO CROCHET SOCKS FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. THE PATTERN BOOKS I BOUGHT HAD DIRECTIONS FOR RIGHT HANDERS AND SINCE I'M LEFT HANDED MY SOCKS DIDN'T TURN OUT THAT WELL. I PRINTED OUT YOUR PATTERN AND CREATED THE PERFECT PAIR OF SOCKS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Sue, Just wanted to pass on a note of THANK YOU for your wonderful site and patterns. I was sitting here tonight wondering what could I do with this sports weight yarn somehow I accumulated, 1 skein of each misc odd colors. Well your site solved that, I found the infant socks, amazing! It took me a little while to do because of the smaller thread and the fingers that just don't work like they did when I was in my mid-20's. I love them, first time I have made a pair of socks and will use this pattern and keep it for a long time for I have yet to become a grandmother. In the meantime the infant or smaller socks I make will find a good home with a charity, then to find that there is an adult pattern with 4ply yarn, I'm excited to do some of those too! Not only for the family, but again some for a charity organization. Thank you again for the work and talent you have.

Thanks so much, Sue! I can't tell you how much I love the hat and mitten patterns. I have made them for myself, my daughters, my son, and my husband. It's such a warm and easy pattern. Your site is one of my favorites. Your directions are always easy to follow, and you get the results you are supposed to. Thank you for the site and your patterns.
- Lori

I am writing to express my gratitude to you for your free patterns. My sister recently asked me to crochet her some fingerless gloves/mittens. I looked all over the internet for a pattern and was unsuccessful in finding one until I hit your site. I made some for her and her kids. The pattern is beautifully written and the results were wonderful. I have also enjoyed your sock patterns.
- Thank you so much, Joyce

I just wanted to say this is an excellent website for anyone that is interested in crocheting or possibly just looking on how to start a new fun,relaxing hobbie.

I know that you don't know me, but I have been having a horrible time trying to find the perfect poncho pattern to make for my little sister, your's is perfect!!!!!!! Thank you so much! Now I can go to bed with peace! I have been searching so hard! Thank you!

~*~*~

I love the mitten pattern, it was the first article of clothing I had ever tried making and the clear instructions made it easy. I gave a set to just about all of my female relatives, and they loved them. Because your directions were so easy to follow i have returned to attempt the glove and sock patterns. Thank You for posting such wonderful work.
- Ashley

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou, Sue, for your wonderful crocheted sock pattern!! I have made several pair and just LOVE them. They are so easy to make & feel so good on!! I really appreciate your website and all your free patterns. I teach crochet classes on Monday evenings and I plan to use some of your patterns. I have designed several poncho and shawl patterns and would be willing to share with you if you're interested. Just e-mail me and I'll send the documents - (in works word processor format).

Just wanted to take a quick minute to say thank you for offering your patterns free. I have been searching for the perfect gift to make for my nephews, and just couldn't find anything, then I happened across your site, and found the crocheted Mittens/Fingerless Glove pattern. What a perfect idea to make for anyone, but especially for an 11 year old and a 9 year old boy. Thank you. Now they too will have a handmade gift from their Aunt T.
Have a wonderful day

Thanks for the wonderful crocheted mitten pattern.............never have I found a crochet mitten pattern so nice as this. Thanks again.
- Sandy

I just wanted to let you know that I love the patterns on this site. I've done the mens socks, the gloves, and the childrens mittens. I just printed off a pattern for fingerless gloves. The last three patterns I did turned out fabulously! I even used the glove pattern twice! Once for me out of cotton (I'm alergic to nylon) and once for my boyfriend with plain old Red Heart. Both turned out beautifully. I tried to make adult mittens based on the child mittens once, but they didn't exactly turn out the best. That's why I'm so excited about the fingerless mittens pattern! I just bought some great wool yarn to use and was looking for just such a pattern to use it on. I'll definitely keep coming back to this site for terrific patterns again and again!!!
- Sarah

I love your site! It's very informative and fun to look around. I have added you to my bookmarks and have rated you on the Top 100 Crochet and Hook Site List. Keep up the great work!!

I just wanted to write and thank you for a wonderful sock pattern. I have been looking all over for a pattern just like yours with the ribbed top. I have made my first pair in a heavy yarn and they turned out perfect. I now have a pair of socks to wear around the house. I am now copying the mens sock pattern because I want to make me a pair with the heal and toe a different color.
- Samantha

~*~*~

I just wanted to commend you on your website. I made the crocheted gloves and the childrens crocheted mittens. The directions were simple and easy to follow. I made the crocheted gloves for my daughter. Since I was low on yarn and wanted to make them identical, I made the body of the glove one color and then did all the fingers in a different color. It turned out really cute and colorful. Thank you for inspiring that idea.
Thanks again,
- Mrs. E.Watson

Thank You Sue, For the great patterns. I have made lots of crochet mittens and socks for christmas presents. They work up so fast. I got some special yarn so I am going to make the gloves instead of the mittens. Happy New Year looking forward to more of your designs. Thanks for being so kind to share your FREE PATTERNS!!
- Anne

~*~*~

I just wanted to let you know that I used your pattern to make tons of christmas presents this year. All of my relatives get a warm snuggly pair of sock slippers.
I love this pattern! It is by far the easiest and best looking sock I've found, and after the first pair, it was very clear how to alter them to fit anyone.
Thanks so much for sharing it!
- Kelly

I was surprised to learn that there are a lot of free crochet patterns on the web. I am having lots of fun with these new ideas that I got off the web from you. I am still trying out some of the patterns. some I can't seem to figure out, but in time I am sure I will catch on to it. I am very pleased with what I found on your free patterns. I showed some of them to my nieces and sisters and they are eager to try them out. I am sure you will hear from them soon.
Very Thankful

I spent two frustrating days trying to find some crocheted slipper patterns on the internet; practically everybody wanted me to buy books or patterns. I came across your web site by accident and knew I'd hit a gold mine. Thanks so much for all the information, patterns, and links on your site. You made my day, and I've bookmarked your site for future reference. Many blessings to you. - Diane

Dear Sue,
As the founder of The Ships Project, which sends handmade items to deployed troops from the USA and Canada, when we can find an address for Canadian units, I have had a miserable time finding suitable crochet patterns for our volunteers. You do not have one adult pattern that wouldn't work wonderfully.

We will definitely be recommending them! In 10 mos., we've sent 20,749 handmade items to deployed troops, and I've never been happy with the crocheted things we've sent. Yours are wonderful!

Take care,
Ellen
Knit, crochet, sew for our deployed troops:

Great site. Just found it at about.com crochet page forum in a discussion about crochet socks. I recently ordered a book from annies attic How to Crochet Socks and am going to try it soon. Someone on the forum said that your instructions were easier especially in doing the heel. I put your site in my favorites so I can easily get it anytime I want. I just printed out your conversion chart for hooks that will come in very handy. There was a discussion there also bout the different hooks . Things I never realized. I will be visiting your site often. - Sharon
