Post holiday slippers.
Posted on Jan 10, 2010 in gray, grey, knit, knitting, knitting pattern
These have got to be the ugliest slippers on earth but they were requested by my mother as a Christmas gift for my father. My mother was disappointed when they didn’t materialize on Christmas Eve but hey, what can I say? I didn’t even find the pattern until Christmas Day.
Then I got to work.
I started the slippers on December 28 and they were finished on December 30. They’re so simple that they really don’t need a pattern. I wrapped them up and presented them to Opa who was pleased…I think. Here’s a shot of Opa with his best bud, Tony D.
Tony is from Poland and comes over most Sundays after church to have a drink with Opa. This is about as cheerful as it gets around here. I love Tony because he always says “Hi gorgeous!” every time he sees me. 
Today I took Opa to the beach. More on that later.
They aren’t the prettiest things I can imagine putting on your feet, but they sure look warm and cuddly!

I think they look very cozy! Where did you find the pattern and is it something that can be shared or is it from a publication?

I’d also like to know the pattern you used – they’re exactly what I’m looking for to keep my feet warm in an old 19th century house with lots of drafts!

I love that photo. Definitely framable. And I love that Tony D calls you “gorgeous” every time he sees you. Are they drinking homemade Schnapps?
