The other day, I was walking out of the grocery store when I noticed that my keychain suddenly felt a bit light. I had lost my crocheted flip flop.
I immediately turned around and found it on the pavement.
About four years ago, I got a little obsessed with making these flip flop keychains. They're fun. I made one for myself, and I sold a few in my shop. (I still have some available if anyone is interested.)
It took four years for mine to wear out. Not bad.
And, really, that wasn't going to be a hard thing to fix. So, I did.
I think it took me longer to find materials and figure out what I wanted to do than making the actual repairs.
Although, just from normal wear, it might be time to make another. I still have the original yarn/thread. But first I'll have to locate where I stashed the pattern.
For now, I have my keychain back.
It's adorable! I hate when a keychain I'm used to wears out and isn't fixable. We do get used to them! Nice you can walk to the grocery store. My car has been in the shop since Friday (not a lot wrong, just happened to take it in on a Friday, and they're closed over the weekend), so if I need to I have to take the bus. They charge $6 for a day pass on the app, when cash is $2 and includes a transfer (or return trip) within an hour and a half. Actually, "I" don't take the bus, my son does it for me! I guess I'm a spoiled suburbanite.
