Nostalgic hand-knitted wool slippers are warm and cozy
I ordered these because the photos of them gave me a huge wave of nostalgia.  Every view of them--top, bottom, and side--look EXACTLY like the hand-knitted slippers that I made for myself and a few family members back when I was a kid learning to knit many moons ago.  Those slippers have long since disappeared from my life (hmm, wonder where they went?) and I no longer have the details for making another pair -- nor the inclination to do so.<br /><br />Well, they arrived and they're just what I remembered.  Soft, yet &#34;meaty,&#34; knitted pull-on slippers that are very well constructed.  If I'm being honest with myself, they're probably more well made than my old ones were, since there aren't any too-tight or too-loose stitches here and there.  But, hey, I was a kid when I made mine!<br /><br />I like that they're soft but sturdy wool for warmth and durability.  Before they arrived, I was a bit concerned that the slippers would turn out to be some bright fire-engine-red color, but the color is as shown in the product page photo -- a nice dark, not-quite-burgundy red.  As you can see in those photos, there is NO non-slip bottom added--they're entirely made of knitted wool yarn.<br /><br />I've enjoyed mine as a warm and cozy trip down memory lane, but they'd also be a nice gift for friends who appreciate handcrafted items.
