I got up this morning to discover that my dog had eaten one of my favorite pairs of shoes. I hate shopping for anything but yarn, so I am deeply bummed that I need to replace these! Since I don't know how to knit shoes, the shopping seems inevitable.
There is one bit of bright side here, though. It got me to thinking seriously about what makes a good slipper. (It's a footwear thought process...) First, it would be one my dog would never be tempted to eat. Second, it would be really comfy but durable. Third, I would be able to knit it from my stash. This pattern from Crystal Palace yarns for Perky Puffin Slippers almost escaped my notice because I thought it would look like the bird puffin. Thankfully it does not. These slipper sox are lovely, and suitable for man or woman depending on the color used. I think if I make them I'll put a vinyl sole on them. Leather seems a little too tempting to my four-legged friend...
