Craft Collecting Hobbies

For many knitters, the act of knitting footwear is a sacred thing. For the sock-obsessed in the knitting community, there are legions of books available, but for those who want to knit slippers, there's not a single book dedicated to the topic...that is, until now. The Knitted Slipper Book is an everything-you-need-to-know guide to knitting slippers and house shoes. It features both detailed, step-by-step how-to photos of all of the techniques necessary to make functional, well-fitting slippers and house shoes, plus 30 fun, stylish projects for every member of the family, from new babies to Grandpa. Project styles range from moccasin, mukluk, clog and boot to ballet flat, slip-on and Mary Jane. Techniques covered include felting, shaping, sizing, soles and linings, insoles, thrumming and finishing with tassels, pompoms and other trims. The Knitted Slipper Book is poised to become the go-to resource on this popular topic.
