insomnia slippers


I finished these puppies a few months back but since I have insomnia tonite, I'm finally getting around to posting some pics.

I adapted these from my pal Doris Chan's pattern. I stuck pretty close to the original, except that I narrowed the sole a bit and added the little crochet buttons on the top.

I actually made these, of all times, during my summer vacation at my parents'. They were an odd choice of project in the dead of summer, but they were fun. And now that winter is here (and the floor in my apartment is So! Cold!), they are serving me well. Toasty!

Early in 2002 you didn't believe in owning a tv and worked out at Crunch.
I trained you for a Fitness magazine article. I went and worked overseas several times and lo and behold, going through the channels today, I come across your program! Along with this is your magazine and your blog.
Simply outstanding!
Congratulations and continued success!

Hi Brett, I know you posted these slippers way back in January, but I've just set my eyes on them and they are fabulous! If it's okay with you I'm going to link to them on my crafty international blog linking party (sunday thru Tuesday or so....) as I just know my readers will love them, and its a good way for me to remember where i saw them! And do stop by my blog, it's all about a crafty designer who used to live in Manhattan but is now living a totally different, though still creative life in Israel! All the best!
