…my old friend. (Name that tune.)
Well, I was going to show you the pair of seamless slippers I finished Sunday night but the lighting was terrible and I go to work in the dark and return in the dark.
I knit this slipper at the end of October and finally got the mate done. Pretend there are two slippers here.
I plan to make two more pair before Christmas. I’m using acrylic yarn (don’t judge) as that is what I have tons of and it really holds up well for these seamless slippers. It’s a bit hard on my hands and fingers.
I will sew replacement carpet soles on these as well as add pompoms.
They look great. I’m a novice knitter and am making a pair of garte stitch fingerless gloves but it’s thick wool and heavy going. They are supposed to be able to be completed in an evening! I really want to knit myself a pair of these kind of slippers but am failing to find a very easy pattern without too much increasing etc or knitting in the round.

I have a similar, simpler pattern knitted flat using two regular knitting needles. No double pointed needles and no knitting-in-the-round. There are two seams to sew: one on the top of the foot and one at the heel. I’ll try to post it tomorrow.
