Carol Lee is the winner.
It’s starting to get cold in the mornings where I live, which means it’s slipper weather!
I’ve actually never knit a pair of slippers beyond those beginner ones that you knit flat and sew up, but I love the idea of knit slippers because they’ve got to be even warmer than knit socks, right? And my feet are pretty much always cold.
If you want to explore knitting slippers for yourself and everyone else you know, this week’s giveaway is for you.
The Knitted Slipper Book by Katie Startzman has 30 patterns (check ’em out on Ravelry) for clogs, booties, loafers, boots and more for men, women and children. There are whimsical designs and totally practical projects, and I’ll bet you’ll want to knit a bunch.
If you’d like a chance to win this book, leave a comment on this post by the end of the day Sunday, Oct. 15. I’d love to know what you do to get ready for colder weather. I’m knitting socks and getting out all the knit blankets, and trying to finish up a couple of lingering sweaters. My daughter wants a new knit blanket, too, I’d better get cracking on.
Thanks for visiting, commenting and sharing, and good luck.
I’m busy knitting some of these new, rectangular ponchos to wear over thinner turtlenecks or long sleeved sweaters. The one I’m currently working on is a loose weave that isn’t supposed to provide a lot of warmth, although I’m sure with me running hot, it will be very warm.
I can remember making lots of slippers when I began to knit. Now I’m wondering why I can’t remember why I stopped. Hm.
I stack wood by thr fireplace, kit up all my knitting and crochet projects.
I will also spin and sew this winter.
I rotate my cooler summer clothes to back of closet and move up my winter/fall items to front.
This would be fun… I was just settling in to knit some fingerless mitts.
I have just knit several hats for the homeless. Now I will concentrate on family and slippers are top of the list, specifically Seamless Slippers by Melissa J Goodale. Everyone I have made them for in the past loves them. They start with magic cast-on at the back of the foot and build from there, seamlessly! I LOVE making slippers and wearing them. If I don’t win this, I will definitely be purchasing it! ??
My daughter-in-law has you take your shoes off in the house. I made her a basket with a few knitted slippers for people to use. I will sometimes add another pair as I try new patterns. Her guests love them. Great housewarming gift or Christmas gift.
I would love to knit a pair of felted slippers. I’d like to try to insert an arch support in them somehow…
I have been wanting to knit some slippers to have handy in the house for awhile. Mostly, I have been making Christmas gifts.
What a wonderful book! I am knitting up a hat (1/2 complete) and have a couple triangular wraps 50% done. That is the issue — half complete! need to ramp up the needles and finish before the cold weather sets in.
cold weather in TX isn’t as cold as where I was before, but warm slippers are ALWAYS welcomed. 2 of my sons & their families take shoes off at the front door & I’ve always wanted to knit a bunch of slippers to keep at the front door for them…
I am a new knitter. I aspire to make gloves so I taught myself how to knit mittens first. I am on my second pair and am planning my third. This is fun and addicting.
My feet are always cold, or so it seems. Slippers would be wonderful.
I have a few people who would love some slippers – I am loving the ones shown on the cover! Thank you!
I’ve been knitting scarves for the winter season!
I knit socks and mitts all year round, so I have a pile ready to wear for the colder months. Now my knitting turns to cardigans!
Other than saving all year to be able to run the heat, I worry more about the homeless. It’s getting cold enough they’ll accept hats and mitts. Also need to knit more slippers for Mom. How convenient, eh?
I’ve been knitting sweaters and winter hats!!
I am so very excited! Thank you ; )
