Crocheted slipper update

I know it has been a few days since I posted last about this.  Got as far as the last post, then my daughter slipped and sprained her ankle so her ankle and foot have been swollen for a few days.  She was finally able to try it on.  Good news is the back opening is okay, the Bad news is I don't like how the sides are particularly around the toe area.  Thinking about taking it out and redoing with a J hook instead of an I, believe it'll be better.  Also considering using 2 strands as I have noticed the multi-colored yarn is a different texture and size (even though same weight) than the solid -- which I used for the prototype.  Has anyone else noticed this with the RHSS multi-color yarns?

Back at it tomorrow, 

In the meantime >>>>>

Had some yarn I'd gotten to try and do the pooling effect.  Tried and could do it, but then decided I didn't want that for a new small laptop sleeve, took it out and decided to see what the "Moss, Linen, Woven, and any other names for it" would look like.  Did 2 horizontal ones, with a G hook which I liked really well but thought I would be short before I achieved the size I wanted, so froggy time, then an H which I liked also, but then thought I would try it in a diagonal format -- which I hadn't done before but had pickup from the internet somewhere and put in "To try" file.  Froggy time again!

Like the diagonal look so am moving along with it. So you can see what the differences are the photo is a picture of each,

Crochet On!
