I just wanted to post something I've done for slippers. I've made the
2-needle mittens (on Lion Brand's website) but without the thumb, and doubling the length of the cuff. They come out sort of like big socks without turning a heel or using dp needles. They stay on pretty well too! Alison |

I'm a newbie at reading patterns so for now I follow the patterns very
closely. Re the slipper pattern that was posted here and that I knitted, there is a small addition/correction that might be needed. This does not change the pattern in any way. It just clarifies the pattern. On the portion of "Shape Toe:" It says: Row 5: k1, k2 tog across, The way I see it, and the way it worked out for me, the pattern worked better when I wrote out Row 5: k1, k 2 tog across, k1 It's the k1 in Row 5 that is missing in the pattern...... My second slipper is almost done.....s Mona |

Monica -- I used this pattern and knitted up a pair of slippers this afternoon! I used only two strands with size 13 needles, and they seem to have worked just fine. I'm thinking of making some for my mom now. LOL - great! That's what I like about 'em, they work up *really* fast.

Good for you! Not only did you find a mistake, you were able to fix it! You
are a newbie no more. g Katherine wrote: I'm a newbie at reading patterns so for now I follow the patterns very closely.

Hello,Jean!
Just wanted to say hello, and welcome! I think you now have enough slipper patterns!:-) AUD ;-) (Jean Early) wrote in message . .. Hello! I'm sort of a newbie -- have only posted a couple of times. I lurk a lot and appreciate the lack of "flame wars" here.... I have just completed a shawl for my mother-in-law, who has alzheimers. I have a lot of yarn left, and my husband suggested that I knit some slippers for her as well. Could anyone suggest a relatively simple slipper pattern that an inexperienced knitter could successfully make?? Thanks in advance for your time. Jean |

Well, *I* don't have a photo g, but the person who designed the Comfy Slippers does have a pic on the same page where you can find the pattern: http://www.white-works.com/slippers.htm If you got mixed up and are asking about any other slipper patterns mentioned in this thread, sorry - those links weren't from me, no idea!
