Cosy feet

First item from the stash is complete!

I made these little slippers using this pattern from Moogly. I didn't do the cabling though.

They are lovely and warm, but having worn them a few times they've stretched a bit so are rather loose. I have more of this yarn so have been thinking about amendments apart from making them shorter.

I could make them so they look more like a pair of Mary Janes, or could extend them up (they are made toe-up) so they keep your ankles warm.

You can see from the second picture that there isn't shaping for the heel. I'll probably make the very back of the heel go up a wee bit so they grip my heel better.

And yes, I appreciate that this first item I've made is crocheted but "knit and crochet my stash" is a less snappy blog title!
