I'm so proud of myself- not only did I manage to make both slippers yesterday, I did SO many things I've never done before! I've never made socks or anything sock-like before, so this was my first provisional cast-on, my first short rows and w&t, my first turning a heel, my first cable cast-on... I just kept going back to my computer to the wonderful videos on this site! THANKS, AMY!!

Also, I'm sorry, I can't remember who posted these just before Halloween, but thanks! You're the one who inspired me to make them for my daughters!

So, these are for my 3 yo, I still need to make a pair for my 5 yo.

Forgot to add- these are twinkletoes (http://www.knitty.com/issuewinter06/PATTtwinkletoes.html) ballet slippers from knitty.

They are absolutely adorable! You should be proud of yourself you did a super job.

Wow, that was a really steep learning curve for you yesterday!! Way to go for trying so many new techniques AND succeeding at them. The slippers are so cute! :thumbsup:

Isn't it satisfying when you figure out all those tricks?

Someday. After all the other things are done. lol.

LOL I know what you mean! I'm hoping I get Emily's slippers done before they fall victim to that 'I'll get to them next' syndrome!

Those are wonderful! Add something else to my list of things I'd like to make for my neices

They look great! :cheering:
I am the one that made a purple pair for my daughter, who was a ballerina for Halloween. They're fast and fun to knit!

They do look nice; warm too. Love the color that you chose. MAYBE I can get a pair done for The Kate before Christmas :)

Aha, it was you! :) Thanks for the inspiration! :) I loved yours, absolutely beautiful.

How sweet!!!

aww soooo cute well done u!!!

So cute! What size did you knit? Will you make the same size for your 5-year-old. I'm sure my dgd, age 4, would love a pair.

Adorable, and LOVE THE YARN! Makes all the difference! Good job!

I knit the toddler size for my 3 yo who has tiny feet... but they're very nearly too small. I'm knitting the child size for my 5 yo- will let you know how they fit when I finish. They're very stretchy, so that makes them pretty flexible size-wise. :)

Thanks for all the nice comments!

What a great opportunity to learn so many new techniques! These are simply wonderful :heart:

Adorable!!

So sweet! Thanks for sharing. And congrats on the new skills. It so fun learning new things!
