lessons in crochet

Working on these bunny slippers has taught me some new crochet techniques! The soles of the slippers are crocheted "in the spiral". Single/double crochets are made across the foundation row, and then continued around the underside, kind of like one of those assembly-line conveyor belts. It's joined to the first stitch of the "row" with a slip stitch. I spent a bit of time trying to figure out how to count the stitches to see if I ended up with the right number. I'm thinking of putting up more detailed instructions of what I learned (once Lawrence figures out how to use his new camera)!
