Sole Christmas Knitting Complete
I only did one knitted gift this year: the House Slippers from Knit Two Together (I thought Blogger had an underline option...was I imagining things?). I am giving these slippers to my grandmother. I hope they fit! And I hope they are comfortable.
I was stupid. I did not check gauge. Who knew my gauge would be two whole stitches too tight? Two whole stitches on size 13 needles with three strands of yarn held together is colossally different. I compensated by not felting too much. They are firm but not as firm as they could be. And one is slightly longer than the other.
Take a look.
Somehow I managed to get the knit purl sequence backwards on one of the slipper's sides. I hope Grandma won't be too particular. I did work really hard on these. Size 13 needles with three strands is hard on the hands; especially since I am apparently a tight knitter.
