[NFB-Krafters-Korner] knitting slippers

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

I think people have mentioned the circles or strips you put in a tub.
Joyce and Becky, what whas the other choice?
Caucking or some kind of glue, I forgot!

I added leather half-soles to some slippers I made.  They do seem to help with slipperiness.  The whole soles were very heavy, but the half-soles not so much.
I also read some place that one could add some rubber paint, and that would make a sole less slippery.
If you decide on some non-skid thing to add, I'd be interested to hear about it.
