Grounding

These are called Grounding, and they're out on both ravelry and payhip. You can use the code SLIPPERS for 15% off in either place through the end of the week. Or, if you're a Rampant Nonsense member on Patreon, you get this pattern and a bunch of others included with your membership. There's a whole list of them! These are just fun to put together. They start at the center back of the heel with a double sided cast on. You work flat until your fabric is long enough to meet in front of your ankle, then you start working in [...]

Very shapey shape

Aaaand here's the one worked in the round. As usual, video version where we flop it around and wiggle it over here. For alas, the dictates of physics mean I cannot show you the top and bottom of this object at once in any sort of practical way. Here it is blocking...   And the top, when released from its contraption. And the bottom. And the ongoing 'hey, here's how I think about this stuff, here's how the charts are structured' series on patreon is over here!

Concerns

I mean this at least looks like something you could envision fitting a foot into. We'll press the foot form into service here in a sec so that those of you with...shall we call them reasonable concerns...can reassure yourselves that I have not completely lost track of the shape of a human foot.

Sack

I have come to believe that all slippers, no matter how fetching when finished, must go through a phase during which they look like a misshapen sack. ⁠ ⁠ I show this to you both so that you will not be alarmed when it happens to your knitting, and so that you can delight in the transformation that awaits. ⁠ ⁠ I'll show you the cute version shortly...

Persist

The horrors persist, but so do I. And while I happened to have knit this before the plague befell me, I have actually been industriously knitting slippers when well enough to wish to be upright, but not yet well enough to actually be bopping around. So you can expect to see quite a lot of slipper action over the next several weeks. As in...the third pattern is on the needles and the fourth is burbling in my head. Consider yourself forewarned.

Plague ship

I am still writing from the plague ship, but feeling better enough to wave, listlessly, from the railing. I offer the back of a slipper as proof of life. This is actually (nearly) the same as the gray one. I realized I wanted to make a few tweaks, so this is the one you'll see in the pattern when it appears. Which actually won't be too long, as I managed to get these knit and written up before the plague descended. But I still can't say precisely when, as I am doing some serious resting while I heal. Many thanks [...]

A little extra

Ok so yes. The way I block these is a little extra. I have lasts (that wooden, foot-shaped thing there that shoe companies used to shape their shoes around) in there doing most of the work. And then I have a flexible plastic cutting board in there too to help hold the top open and out and under a bit of tension. If I didn't have lasts (which again, I realize most of you will not, I have this stuff because taking pretty pictures of my knits is literally my job, and so I have specialized tools to do that [...]
