| The bag slippers |

This was most likely the easiest thing ever made. Any stitch can be used and any gauge,needle or yarn. This could be done in knit or crochet. Great as a stash buster.
If you want a guideline for making these here it is:
These slippers are made by making 2 matching rectangles, seaming the sides and adding a row for lacing them up.
I was making it for "The boy" and his shoe is a size 4. That is about 9 inches. Added an inch to the length.(In this case 10 inches long.) The width can depend on how loose you want them, but never shorter than the length of your foot (ie:foot is 9 inches long slipper will be 9 inches wide)
Made the pattern that I wanted, for this one the entire slipper was in a ribbing stitch, and then seamed the sides. Starting at the back of the newly formed "bag" attached yarn and stitched 2 stitches and then 2 spaces. Continued this all the way around the slipper joining and finishing off.
Ribbon or braided yarn can be used for the string to lace through the top of the bag, I did a length of finger crochet for these ones. Pom Poms or other endings for your strings would be optional as well.
These would make a great and easy project to make up a bunch to have on hand in different sizes. Perhaps if you have cold floors for your guests to each have a handmade gift they can take home with them after visiting and you have the ability to get rid of your stash as well.

I sent you a Christmas card and it just came back to me. So, apparently I fucked up the address. Dave(FTPMonster)'s came back, too. Any idea what happened to him? | |
