Finally! I can share! Hit it, Nat!
If you remember, back in October I joined "SocktoberFest." Not to make socks. No. To make slippers for the people I love!
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. . .

Jack Frost nipping at your nose. . .

Yuletide carols being sung by a choir. . .
(for my niece, Jes)
And folks dressed up like eskimos. . .
(for Erin)
Everybody knows some turkey and some mistletoe
(for my Dad)
Help to make the season bright. . .
(for my Mom)
And then. . . the song ends. For now. I have two more pairs of slippers to complete -- one for my friend, Sandie (nearly finished) and one for Brian (but, really, who wants to knit for a size 13 foot???).
Althought it's been said many times, many ways. . . Slippers make a great holiday gift!
(Ravelry details here, here, here, here, here, and here!)
Reports are in: The slippers seem to be a hit with all recipients. This photo (sent by Erin) warms a Mom-Knitter's heart:
I'm ready to put the slipper patterns away for awhile -- but it was fun to give warm feet for Christmas!
You must have had as many "hits" as Nate with all the cozy toes you covered this Christmas! They're all wonderful (and your family must think you are, too!)!
Just bought yarn for my own duffers. They're so cute!

Those slippers are adorable! I am especially fond of all the ladies' slippers. I suspect you had a great time picking color combination and appropriate buttons. What fun!

Just look at all those warm toes. :D
Isn't felting fun? It hides errors and woven in ends...
I love the slippers but I especially love the buttons!

Great slippers, and I love all the different colors! I'm sure the recipients were all delighted.

More knitted love! They're all amazing! And it looks like we were thinking alike this year, which makes me all sorts of happy, too. Wishing to lots of love and health in the New year, dear Kym.

They all look awesome! I love the way the details you used in finishing really personalized them. Great job, Kym!

They all look great!
I'm so impressed that you were able to keep them secret. Nice job!

Oh how fun!! I have those in my Rav shopping cart. I might need to let them out! ; )
