Some more
colour to brighten up this first week in November... this time my rather bright pink slippers that I finished knitting on the train on Sunday... however there seems to be a little problem.
Well, quite a big problem actually...
However, a quick spin in a hot wash seems to have done the trick...
Left foot in... Right foot in...
A perfect fit! Snug, cosy and colourful... what more could you want from a slipper?
Apart from some even brighter pink flowers to go on the top! (Yarn and pattern from
Knitting4fun)
There has also been some creativity in the kitchen... look what I made last night. This has to be a first... I don't think I've ever made my Christmas cake before the third week of December! It did make the house smell good though!

Fantastic slippers! Perfect for the colder weather! :) x
ReplyDeleteLove the slippers!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me you are clever! Did you know that they would felt to just the right size?
ReplyDeleteYour slippers (and toenails!) are brilliant. Love the mutant big slipper picture the best!!
ReplyDeleteI tried to knit some big slippers once for fewlting, only I got the tension wrong and they ended up fitting one of my small girls instead.
ReplyDeleteYours are lovely.
smarty pants - that felting has worked a treat - the clash of colours is superb.
ReplyDeletejust in time for cosy winter feet :)
What a clever solution for a very pretty pair of slippers. They look softer too!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you have already made Christmas cake! Wow that is organization!
I love the slippers, I might have a go at those, they would make nice Christmas presents!
ReplyDeleteI can smell that cake from here, looks good too!
Am in awe of the slippers! Fabulous! And as for cake, not even got the fruit or brandy in yet, like you are usually it'll be just at the last minute. x
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! I didn't know you could do that with knitting... that's something new I want to do now, dammit!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone comment on the train, like "Are you knitting slippers for a transvestite with size 14 feet?"
Christmas cake... thanks for the nudge Gina. Love the small as it bakes - really homely and cosy on a dark evening.

wow love those slippers where did you get the pattern from my daughter would love to knit them she is just getting into knitting ...x
ReplyDeleteoh brilliant Gina. off to get one of those kits! love your toenails and cake (strange mixture lol)
ReplyDeleteOh how fabulous! I've been keen to try felted slippers for ages now but have been too scared by the felting process. And your cake looks amazing, too. So organized!
ReplyDeleteK x
I want slippers like that!
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with those slippers is that I wouldn't want the bottom of them to get grubby, so I would have to constantly put my feet up. Terrible.
ReplyDeleteJust HOW fantastic are those? Cake looks pretty good too............
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! How glam are your toes?
ReplyDeleteSo glad the lace arrived safely.
ReplyDeleteI haven't even thought about baking the Christmas cake yet! Will have to look up the pattern for Kezzy, she does the odd bit of knitting, once in a blue moon.
Love the slippers and the slender feet that go with them. The cake looks pretty good too - I can almost smell the lovely fruity spicy aroma.
ReplyDeletewow I want! they are the perfect colour and your toes match my toes:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous slippers, I bet they are sooo comfy and cosy!
ReplyDeleteslippers look great. Will the cake last till Christmas? It wouldn't at my house!
ReplyDeleteThose slippers are gorgeous. Think I might have to take up knitting again.
ReplyDeleteWow the slippers are lovely and the matching toenails !!!
ReplyDeleteChristmas cake looks yummy now you have to feed it regularly and not eat it!!!
I so love those slippers - that's just the pattern I've been looking for. I'm heading over to Knitting4fun!
ReplyDeleteLove the slippers - I'm glad that they shrunk to a perfect fit. I've always been a bit wary of shrinking things myself - it seems a bit of a hit or miss process so I'll have to get some tips from you!
