Isn't fall wonderful? I love milling around on chilly mornings in my pj's with a big cup o' coffee. One of my favorite cool weather items that accompany my pj's are my felted wool slippers.
After college I lived with a friend from Minnesota who knitted. She was knitting before knitting was cool. In fact, she opened a yarn shop in Athens & taught classes, which I thought was really odd at the time. Unfortunately, the shop didn't make it, but she was a pioneer on the Athens knitting front... there is now a successful shop that one of her previous students opened. Anyhow, though I didn't appreciate it at the time, I am now extremely grateful for the beautiful pieces she made for me. The slippers are o-so-warm, extremely comfortable, and make sliding around on our hardwood floors a lot of fun. They actually make me dance every time I wear them... true story :)
Anyhow, my slippers are beginning to wear thin (after 8 years) and I've been nervous about them meeting their demise. I was thrilled to find that there are a lot of slipper options on etsy. Quiltery appears to have slippers that are most similar to mine.
These babies are a steal at $39. They probably have about $20 worth of yarn in each pair & I know for a fact that they take hours on end to make.
I assure you this would be one of the best purchases you'd ever make.
Happy Fall Ya'll!
