I have had a knitting project sitting in my bedroom drawer since we moved in last December. It is perhaps half complete, might be just about finished – I’m not sure as I can’t remember what it was supposed to be, but it sits there waiting for somebody to work on it. I can’t remember when I cast it on, but it must be over a year ago now.
As it was clearly not going to knit itself and I have no way of remembering what it was, I decided it was a shame to leave such lovely yarn sitting there without a proper use, so why not use it? About ten minutes of pulling at the beautiful Mirasol Sulka yarn and a trip around the Jumbo Ball Winder later and I had a nice new cake of yarn to feast upon.
I then decided to knit myself a real treat for my feet using this beautiful merino, alpaca and silk mix yarn. I have consistently cold feet, no matter what the weather. Since I was a child my complaints of cold feet have been met with ‘well put some slippers on then!’ but I cannot stand slippers as I like to curl up on a sofa and tuck my feet under me.
So here’s the solution I have decided upon. A pair of soft, really luxurious slipper shaped socks that will keep my feet warm and feet squishy and soft underfoot.
mmmn lovely lovely warm slippers.
okay, those are seriously like a cloud is hugging your feet. so great. I might make them when you publish the pattern! Just don’t slip!! I bet silk and alpaca is a bit slippery on hard floors 🙂
I say add bunny ears! nothing better than bunny slippers 🙂
Those are really beautiful! Are you going to write the pattern up? They’d definitely be popular… 🙂
Oh my, they look cosy! I have the same cold-feet-slipper-hating affliction as you. I think they definitely need a face.
True, that’s a perfect idea for a gift… and would be perfect for myself, too. 😉
Thanks for sharing… I think it looks great just the way it is, simple and cosy !
Those look incredibly warm and soft – YUM!
Those look snuggly and warm!
They look lovely!!! I want some 🙂
Lovely squooshy slocks, might have to beg you to write up the pattern 🙂 🙂
Lovely slippers, I think the shape would suit a little guinea pig face and ears!
I love that little slipper!! It looks so cute.
Lovely Slippers! They look so warm and cozy!
They are beautiful just as they are, do leave them that way.
Hey, you can always knit another pair later with fancy toping 😉
did you publish the pattern?? I d love it
would love the pattern looks like something my daughter would wear.
