slippers

i just made the pattern a lot easier to do (i hope lol) my grandmother taught me how to make them about 20 yrs ago. she showed me how so i had to right the pattern by making the slippers. every year for christmas my family loves to get their "squishy" package. the top slipper shows it right side out the bottom one is inside out so you can see how it looks. noone has test knitted this so if there are any problems please hollar and i will be more than happy to fix it. they are VERY easy and a really good way to use up left over acrylic.
