Quite a long time ago, I took up knitting. I had completed a few projects for friends and family, like knitting a couple scarves for Kristie, and I had done-up a sort of scarf/shawl for my mom a few years back, but I have just recently gotten back into it, as I am trying to implement a self imposed limitation on my internet surfing.

So, like I said, I'm just starting to get back into it, and to start with, I wanted to make a nice poncho for Kristie. The project isn't very difficult (according to the directions), but I still wanted to dive into some really easy projects before I got into a big one. So I found a YouTube video that showed how to knit a pair of slippers.

The project was good in that it incorporated two simultaneous strands of wool to work with, just like the poncho project I wanted to do. Also, it just got me back into the groove. So, with the original yarn that I still had from when I learned to knit, all those years ago, I made a couple of slippers for myself. The first, is this blue yellow dealie and the second is a pink and orange number. The wools don't match, and the pattern is fairly easy, but it did get me back into the knitting game.

I want to say thank you very much to Sandy Davis, on YouTube, who provided wonderful instructions on the complete project!
