I love those! Now I just have to learn how to purl and do the other non-knit stuff you describe.

I bought a pair just like this at Target (only orange) and I thought, “I wonder how one could knit these.” Now I know! Your patterns are fantastic. Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting the slipper pattern! I added some crochet flowers to mine also, since that’s the look I wanted. A picture is on my blog:

My daughter and I recently started to knit and saw you on Knitty Gritty and you were wonderful. You were to cute. We want to make the slippers but we didnt get to tape your episode. Any chance we can get a DVD. Thanks

Kaity, saw you on Knitty Gritty with Vicky Howell, and as a newby, LOVED not only these slippers, but how well you showed the basics of how to work them up.I have crotcheted all my life, and just recently took up knitting to help with medical conditions I have. For someone who is roughly 3 times younger than me you have it going!Thanx, and I will be looking forward to more of your designs and more appearances on Vicky’s show. Good luck!
