Finished Slippers

I finally finished my slippers. For a while now all I've had to do is sew up the seem on the second one and they'd be done, and I just haven't wanted to, so they sat doing nothing for a while.


I finally did finish them, though, and put them back on again. They're bigger than I remember in a good way, but the toes are also pointier than I remember. 


I still can't get over the seem in the bottom, though. Maybe it's because of the way I sew things up that it aggravates me so, but I just can't handle it. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them since I made them for myself to use up the black yarn and then I didn't like them, but when I took off my slippers to take the pictures in these slippers and boyfriend put on my slippers. After the pictures I got him back out of my slippers again by offering him these.


He put them on and hasn't taken them off again. He says he likes them, so they're his. On him they look a little like ankle socks stretched a little too tight, but that's fine. He's a little worried about how they'll hold up, but if the seems come apart, I can fix that, and that's all I'm really worried about.

These slippers worked out pretty well for my first attempt, even though I personally don't really want to wear them. From now on I think I'll be making any slippers on circular or double pointed needles.

Happy knitting!
