[Nfb-krafters-korner] slipper sock help

[Zimmer, Cindy]

I was thinking that a pair of slippers would be cute having the top cuff one color and the majority of the slipper another color with a wide stripe of the cuff color around the foot.  You could even alternate colors to be in STYLE!  *grin

I was not shooting the teachers, they did an awesome job of giving a list of 
supplies and teaching how to make the socks. I am so glad I did not miss any 
of those classes. As said before, I'm thinking that possible the skein of 
yarn was short changed somehow as it was a brand new skein of yarn.

I went back tot he store today to get some more and don't you know it, they 
were OUT of it! I'll have to wait until next week to see if more comes in. I 
do plan to make another pair using the same type of yarn.
Cindy, I'm just enough of a perfectionist that I want it all the same color, 
lol althought it's not like I'm going to be wearing them out in public, so I 
could got with another color for just the one toe section, hehe. Actually I 
was thinking of doing that.
