Sandy is the winner!
My feet (and the rest of me!) are pretty much always cold, so I’m growing more and more interested in knitting socks and other coverings for my feet. I really want to knit some slippers, and if you’re feeling that way, too, this week’s giveaway is for you.
I’m giving away a copy of 25 Stylish Knitted Slippers by Rae Blackledge. The book includes all sorts of thick socks, clogs, moccasins, slippers with animal designs, loafers and more to treat your feet. Most of the patterns are sized for women, while some are also (or just) for children, and I think just one also has sizes for guys.
There are felted designs to start with (felting hides mistakes like a dream!) and lots of fun things like little kid socks with dinosaur spikes down the back, or the adorable mom and me Mary Janes on the front (which I may well have to knit for myself and the girl).
If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post by the end of the day Sunday, January 17. I’d love to know if you have cold feet and what you do to solve the problem, or if you’ve ever knit slippers and how you like them.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck!

I never wear shoes in the house. In the winter I always have a pair of socks or slippers sometimes both on in the house. i would love to win this book. Thank you.
Pam says

My feet are always cold, year-round, and it’s due to a medical conditon. In the winter, I have to wear knee high socks, along with warm slippers. I even own knee-high slippers for the below zero days!! At night, I wear cozy socks – even though we have an electric blanket. My feet never warm up!! If my feet don’t get warm, I’m in constant pain, and then I can’t move around when I’m awake, and I’m unable to sleep, if I’m in bed. Hope that last sentence made sense. I’m happy to have a chance to win this book!! Thank you so much, and have a great 2016!!

As I get older my feet get colder. I love knit slippers to warm them up.

Cold feet make your whole body feel cold, so come on with this book, never cold feet again

I’m constantly knitting slippers for Mom. She wears them all the time – in and out of the house. Because of her shuffling gait and the outdoor use, they wear out quickly, no matter how sturdy the yarn.
Bradi says
My feet are always cold and our hardwood floors makes it even harder to keep my feet warm. Slippers are a must have everyday!

I’ve been sleeping with socks lately because my feet freeze at night. I love fuzzy socks the best, cozy and fashionable.

Sheila says
I wear handknit wool socks all the time in the winter. Slippers would be a good idea tho – it would probably lengthen the life of my socks.
chickie brewer says
This book is such a great idea… I remember my first knitting project in middle school were slippers and they are not half as cute as yours.. I would love to make some of your cute slippers and socks!

My feet are always cold; if I’m sitting down I have a blanket on my lap, but that doesn’t help when I’m walking around
Lisa Nixon says
This book is on my wish list…..I can think of a number of people that would enjoy receiving a handknit pair of slippers!
