Oh. My.

I
do love it when they grow out of the old, battered hand-me-downs.
Because it cracks open the door to a little hand-crafting, in this case
the knitting up of a pair of gnome slippers for my elf-child.

My project is here on Ravelry. You can find the (free!) pattern there. Oh I do love Ravelry.

These slippers are knitted up big then felted down to for a custom fit.

If you have never made felted slippers before I strongly recommend it. They are satisfying to make and crazy warm for cool days. I have made this more serious/less fanciful pattern for Pete, Sage, and I before but the elf pattern was too cute to pass up. All you need to master is short rows (w&t) and you'll be ready to roll.

Bring it on, October. We're ready for ya.

    Hello friend. I am going to coat them with the sticky goop you can buy at the hardware store for tool handles. You paint it on with a disposable (foam) brush and its supposed to be perfectly non-slip. For now shes not minding them without though. Love you. Rachel
