Jon's Slippers

[Shellie]

I made these for a friend with a blind husband. Going with the idea that his senses would be sharper I made sure there are no irritating seams and the tongue is sewn so it cannot slip down. Even the beads are textured to give him something to touch.

Great slippers. I like the beads on them.

Great colors and style and how thoughtful of you to think of the "extra" things because the recipient is blind.

[nevadamama]

They look good. What type of yarn did you use?

[Momcrochets]

They look beautiful and soft. Kudos to you for thinking carefully of your recipient, also. I'm sure he'll like them (as will his family)

I used this big ball of fuzzy stuff my Mom got to work with that was too annoying for her and combined it with a one pound Caron. It made it MUCH easier to work with!

These are all old projects so I can tell you that he loves the slippers and wears them constantly. lol

What a sweet friend you are! The slippers are beautiful :manyheart

[Shellie]

This was an experiment. I wanted to see if I could make a slipper for him with lots of sensory touches that still looked nice to someone with sight.

The basis is a pattern from a book I have for size and then I take it from there. I have made so many different slippers from that pattern. lol
