My usual faves from LL Bean have worn out. I don't want my feet to be chilly this winter.
I've heard of the famous Fuzzyfeet - where you knit giant sized booties and felt them for a custom fit for your feet.According to ravelry, people have used Noro Kureyon for this pattern. I bought two balls of Kureyon that seem like they'll be similar. The yarn has a long repeat - and the balls do not all start in the same point in the repeat.
Swatched it up.....way off gauge. I'm knitting too tight for the pattern - kind of weird because often I knit too loose.And, of course, I don't have smaller sized double-pointed needles or circular needles.
Good thing I have that red scarf for when I really need to knit!
Not to worry - there's plenty of time to finish slippers before I need them!!

Fuzzy feet are fun to knit! I made a few pairs for family myself. The Noro will work wonderfully! I think I used Brown Sheep in different colors.
This is going to be fun-use big needles-I have made several pairs and they need to be really big and loose before you fell them.
I can't thank you enough for passing on this pattern!!! I'm in major need of new slippers for winter and these look perfect.
Glad to know that a two of you have had a good experience with these slippers!! (And good to know they should be big....definitely reinforces my idea that I need bigger needles!)
That will be cool if you knit some too, B! I promise not to fall into a funk if yours are done before mine!!
