Keeping the needles busy

This is the first pair of adult slipper/boots off the needle, just waiting for some buttons.

These turned out a lot larger than they were looking during the knitting process.  With the wide legs, these will be perfect for winter nights, fitting over jeans and trousers.

 

Now I've done these, I think I prefer the rib versions.  I'll try a pair in the adult size to compare.  At the moment, I'm back to doing small ones.  I'm going to a craft fair on Sunday, wonder how many pairs I can get done before I go.

So Cute

I just love these little slippers.  The whole process is so satisfying, seeing each individual part come together to form a slipper, fantastic!

This pair has a shorter leg than the first pair, and went together better too.  Practise has certainly paid off.  I'm definitely going to make adult ones, but first, there is another style to try.

The first pair

These are so easy to knit, although you end up with lots of pieces to put together, which can be quite fiddly.

There three different styles to choose from, this is the long legged fisherman's rib.

I just love that the legs are lined.

 

I'm going to try the other two styles, then I'll decide which of them I'd prefer in the adult size.  This is going to be fun.

 

If anyone else wants to join in the fun, the pattern is King Cole 3275 double knit.  Sizes go from 1-2years to adult.

So Cute

Last week, I saw a lovely pattern for knitted slippers.  Actually, they are more like knitted boots, but I loved the look of them, I just had to try them.

I thought I keep it simple and try the small ones first, if they turned out OK, then I'd do the big ones.

These are the soles for the first pair, and they look so sweet!

 

Now, all we need is the uppers, and the legs.
