Thanks everybody. Those sock instructions in "Silver's Sock Class" are very, very good instructions!

Or add duplicate stitch to the bottoms, especially the bottoms of the heels and the balls of the feet. That will make them last longer, too, if you aren't going to wear them with shoes. I never wear mine with shoes,

MADDEB, Where can one find slipper pads? I only heard the tip of using puff paint on the bottoms the other day but this sounds like a great idea. I have had a stroke and am very clumsy these days. I would make slippers all the time if I could wear them without slipping!
