Help please...crocheted slippers

I am making a pair of slippers (my first time at a clothing item) and I don't understand the Finishing instructions.

FINISHING Join pieces as follows: Place Top on Sole with wrong sides together.(I understand this part) Join yarn at Heel; working through both pieces, slip st in each sc of Top easing in Sole fullness; join to first st; finish off.

As I understand this, I work up through the bottom (Sole) to the top (Top) and slip stitch in the top. What I don't understand is the "easing in the Sole fullness".

Very thankful, Christy

Hi Christy! I crochet, but I've never crocheted slippers before (where did you find a pattern?) so unfortunately I don't have a clue what that means either. Hopefully someone else can help with your question.

Gemini,

It's a Leisure Arts pattern from 1985. It's a booklet that has 9 different patterns. I thought I picked the easiest one. *LOL*

In sewing, "ease in the fullness" refers to cases where one piece has a longer edge than the one it's being seamed to, and means you adjust the difference in little increments at every opportunity, so you don't have a big tuck somewhere. Hope this helps!

Ahh, I love Leisure Arts pattern books. I have a lot of them... but I can't figure out where I put them all at the moment. :o/ Someday when I'm not looking for them they'll be right in my way. ;o)

I keep meaning to fill a shelf with these. Still in quest of the shelf.

*lol* Isn't that how it always goes. : ) The books I use are my mother-in-laws. She has a few Leisure Arts books as well as a couple of afghan books(which I use liberally).

Yeah. Sad thing is it was only last year that I had been looking through all the books and sorting them by what was in them... toys, slippers, afghans, etc. Then I put them back in the sturdy box I had them in, and I

*thought* I had put them in one place... but when I went looking for them they were nowhere to be found. Nevermind... we have a HUGE bookcase that someone gave us (at the moment it's in the garage/workshop)... so when we get that brought in the house and set up where I want it... and when I find my pattern books... one of the shelves will be devoted to them, then I will *always* know where they are. ;o)

I *have* the shelf... just not in the house yet... I just have to get it brought in, and find the pattern books again. ;o)
