They are really cute and quick to make! And they fit into your purse!
I made these today!
Is there anything you can’t make? 🙂 I admire your abilities.
Heidi, I love it! And you say you can’t follow a pattern…! These are really cute.
Thanks, Adrienne! All kinds of things I won’t even attempt! I don’t like failure.
Allison-
I kind of fudged the directions- I’ll show you Thursday. But they still look good, anyway!
These are great! Good job, you are so crafty! I keep saying I want to learn to knit, it seems like a great activity to do while watching TV/movie. I think I should probably start with a scarf since it is straight. Any suggestions on how to books?
Heidi. That’s not quite correct. I cannot knit! I’ve tried and tried. I’ll stick to sewing.
Those slippers are really cute.
That’s so funny- in a rather grim sort of way, Susan!
I can’t sew on a machine! Hand sew- a little- but the machine SCARES me!
Heidi they look like little pixie slippers. Very sweet!
I’m sure you would be able to crochet in a heart beat.
Those are so cute and you are very crafty/creative–something I desperately lack.
Sarabeth- I’m not sure of a book to recommend, but there are some great video tutorials on the internet – google and look at some of them.
Brydie- That is just what I thought! When I put them on I was tempted to go look in the mirror and see if my ears had pointy tips!
Paula- Thank you! I do have creative moments- but really, I have difficulty cutting a straight line or sewing a straight seam- and mostly I have to take classes to learn how to follow a pattern. These were really easy.
Those are ADORABLE!!!
Heidi, they are SO CUTE! Almost, almost cute enough to forego wearing your beloved socks! 🙂
Those look great Heidi! Keep meaning to take a picture of the one and only pair of socks I knitted, under tutelage, to show you. I really don’t knit at all, but those look such fun. You are very clever 🙂
They are beautiful. You do beautiful work with what ever you do.
Kim- thanks- they really turned out better than my expectations!
Celia- my niece’s house is so chilly, that when I babysit, I always take a pair of slippers to wear. With my socks-I’ll wear them both! 🙂
Joanna- I’m really NOT clever when it comes to knitting! Generally I can’t even follow a pattern- so these were a bit of a surprise!
Cynthia- thank you, dear one!
I really love your slippers. Do you have the pattern for a size 10
Thanks Gloria-
I love them too! I am not good with patterns- in fact I can hardly read them at all.
I have a friend who teaches knitting classes, however, and I’ll see if she can figure this into larger sizes.
Greetings from India, Heidi I love your pattern and it is so easy to make. Made three pairs of it and gifted away two of them to two to-be moms. Great work heidi and thanks a lot
The pictures were of great help too.
Ramya.
Welcome, Ramya!
I’m so happy to hear how much the small tutorial helped. Sometimes instructions come well from a novice!
And thank you for letting me know- you have brought me much pleasure today
