knitted slippers

I found an easy slipper pattern online the other day (knittingpatterncentral) and decided to make them as a birthday present using 2 slightly different shades of purple dk and a purple speckly wool (patons moonglow) for the stripes! They are really stretchy and even though they look small, they suposedly fit a size 4-7 womens shoe (im a 5). see what you think:




I havnt quite mastered the art of neat sewing up yet as you can see.. but they stay together! The toe is moss stitch and a 'sole' is formed with odd purl stitches, creating the ridge effect you can see. I plan to make some more in different colours and sizes etc....
