My sister made me a pair of knitted slippers using the old family pattern that our Mom used. I've made several pairs myself, but currently only have the one that my sister made. She was VERY SMART and knitted an extra pair of soles. I've replaced the worn out soles at least 3 times already and am so thankful to have that spare that I can swap out.
All I have to do is remove the yarn stitches holding the sole to the slipper and pop back on the spare pair, using the green yarn again to stitch them together. When I'm all done, I take the removed soles, add new non-skid fabric on the bottom and put them away for the next time I need a new sole. Here are the fixed slippers:
I hope you have someone in your family that will make you knitted slippers (or hats, sweaters, etc.) Its such a nice gift to have... and one that keeps on giving.
