    I thoroughly enjoyed following along with you on this slipper tutorial. I do have a suggestion though, if you don't mind. Through my years of knitting socks I discovered early on that if you knit one sock at a time that 2nd sock NEVER matches the first one. Is there a cure for this strange phenomenon? Of course! Simply knit both socks at the same time. Works everytime! Now, since I'm knitting my very first pair of slippers...I'm not kidding, lol...I can only guess that the same phenom could occur as with the socks. So while I stitched right along with you, I simply cast on both slippers onto the same needle and used a separate ball of yarn for each. At the end of your video I have a finished PAIR of slippers instead of just one slipper, and they are a perfect match! Well, time for me to get busy making another pair. I hope you don't mind my putting in my 2 cents worth. I would also like to thank you for taking the time to create this video. I haven't yet looked at your others...I've been busy following you with this pair of slippers...but I promise I will browse through them soon. Lastly, I would like to wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving. Cya!

      +Ann Scholl as a Canadian my thanksgiving was in October, but I'll gladly accept your belated warm wishes.
      About the sock thing... the way I've made sure they're the same is to write down how many rows and stitches. Ie how many rows for the heel, how many stitches I picked up along the heel flap to form the foot. Having a smartphone and putting it in your notes has saved me many a miscalculation.
      To make the slippers the same, if you follow the pattern for the same size it should work. But should doesn't always turn out that way as we've all realized.
      Your idea is ingenious btw. Happy knitting and I always enjoy the comments!

    Janis, I watched your video for the dishcloth as well as this one, and I wanted to ask you if the cable cast on was your preferred method. I was wondering if possibly the long tail cast on would work better for this project

    Hi again I was wondering when we do row 1 and 2 for the first time, then we need to do row 1 and 2 (48) rows in total. Is it row 1 is (1) row 2 (2), row 1( 3), row 2 (4) or row 1 and 2 is (1) I just wanted to make sure that I don't make any mistake. Thank you for your help.

      Use the yarn from the ball. The video shows where to start picking up the stitches.

      I’ve sold lots over the years and never got a complaint. Doubling up is always good but this is a pattern for new knitters and I didn’t want to make it any more complicated than necessary.

    • @JanisFrank
      @JanisFrank  7 років тому

      +Linda McNeely Yup! Divide that in half. Count each knit row and each purl row as one row.
