Enter these slippers and here you go.
A pretty easy knit I'd say. Why did it take me 2 months...well you know me, other things got in the way. (Funny thing, when I started them, only about under 100 people had knit them...now, over 2,000 of them, possibly more! ) Sometimes the quick knits take me the longest. I love my buttons, faux leather. I do love this style of button and you may see it again sometime on a sweater, if I ever finish one soon!
ETA: Here's the pre-felted picture, huge huh!
Seaming help here! Don't let the seaming scare you!! She has great videos on it. Besides, it's felted, so if you screw it up, who is gonna know! The pieces go pretty quick.
Well, um..I was a wee bit picky on my tab sewing. Yes, I can be a perfectionist at times...what..you didn't know that ;)
They fit pretty good. 3 times through Megan's washer (thank you Megan!) was good overall. Maybe a smidge too short in the toe, but we'll see with wearing. It's nice to have a friend with a top-loading washer :) My dream laundry room will have a top loader, along with my front loader and some shelves, and a bar to hand stuff on outta the dryer, and a...well a girl can dream huh!

Finished January 25, 2010 well...it took me this week to felt and sew on the tabs ;) Oh, sew the button on the tabs first! Easier that way!

I love them! I just downloaded the updated pattern. Maybe it's time to make myself a pair.
Cute cute cute!
We got the sleety rain too. Or ice snow. I'm calling it snow , for the boys' sake. It's their first and they are SO excited.
:0)
That's how it looks outside my window too! Plus snow. Stayin' in though. Love the slippers! Sooo cute. Talk about a viral pattern!
Cutest.slippers.evah!!!
I think that's a great pattern and you did a great job on them. So cute!
Slush -- yuck! Glad you don't have to venture out into it.
Thanks for the washer love! :-p
You are welcome to use it any time - particularly if your slippers come out that awesome!
I essentially have the laundry room you describe, minus the top-loader. We do have a top-loader at the Lake, so I try to do my felting during the summer when I have easy access to that machine.
Nice slippers! They look fab!
Love them! Want them! They look so cosy and warm.
Those look comfy and cute. Maybe I need to knit a pair after all.
Great slippers - I love that shade of blue. I'm surprised we got snow at all - we were told that the storm was going to be well south of us - but there is about 2" outside, enough to cover all the roads and grass.
With weather like htat, you'll get lots of use out of your cutie patootie slippers!
I dig! And just in time for the snow! Yay!!!!
I love the buttons. Those are Moochie-fidget buttons. I have a button like that on a sweater and he's constantly playing with it when I wear that sweater!
Love the blue for the slippers and you did a great job on matching the tabs.
Love them!
My car hasn't moved since Friday. We have a few inches of snow, but there's ice under it. My car is too small and light to deal with that. Or, that's my excuse for not going anywhere. At least until I run out of toilet paper. =P
Love love love those slippers! Bummer on not more snow though!
You are right! These slippers have taken on the knitting world by storm! It has been on the top of my list for months too ;op
Yours came out GREAT!
And hope you stayed warm and safe this past weekend :) I hear more freezing rain for us GAAA!
