Hello farmgirl sisters Last year a friends mom knitted everyone slippers, I loved them and so did my DH we wore them all winter and they were so warm and toasty especially on cold feet in bed so I thought wow this would be a great gift for all my loved ones and friends so, this year I knitted everyone warm and cozy slippers, its was fun and everyone really did love them. I hunted for the thickest and softest wool and each night made one pair... Happy Feet... happy new year Blessings Deborah

Deborah,
I refuse to wear shoes in the house and at the moment, I have no slippers. My feet are freezing so I can tell you, this sounds like the most amazing gift! I bet everyone just loves them! If I could knit, I would be making a pair right now!

I'd like to know the pattern you used, also. Marly

Me, too. If you can knock out a pair a night, it sounds like something I could do eventually. Marianne |

My SIL taught herself to knit and is currently making the most gorgeous wool socks I've ever seen. I'm SO envious, my nephew and brother love them. Emily I know what you're saying, my feet have been SO cold, DD gave me fleece lined moccasin slippers for Christmas and I wear them constantly, my tootsies haven't been cold since!
