Why I HATE patterns

So while I had lots of baking to do this week, I also realized that I need to crochet some boot-ish type things for Dekker for trick or treating. I find boots/mittens/pairs of things intimidating to crochet, since I always fear they will come out completely different sizes. I figure there is less of a chance of that happening if I buckle and use a pattern. So I have one picked out. It has two sizes Infant and size 4-ish. So I opted for the bigger pattern. I’m finished the shoe part of the first one and seriously, I could wear these. And my feet are around a 7.5 – 8! So…I don’t know. Sigh. I guess I should just modify it the way I do with lots of patterns, but soles or shoes are tricky. I haven’t had much experience with them, and I have a deadline.

Short crochet rant for the day. I’m done. Silver lining? Um…I could modify them just a touch longer and have super cute boots for myself! Perfect.
