the first "slipper clinic" was NOT a success - i had planned an open knitting circle on a weekday afternoon in a café here in Montreal, and had at least 1 person confirm in advance that she would drop by - but she came down with some horrible bug (on her birthday, too!) and didn't show. so - i had a nice afternoon in a comfy café, knitting away, to the bemusement of the staff. i just finished the 2nd of a pair of mouse slippers, and am ready for a new project! i am going to give these to some old neighbors of ours. i hope he finds them comfy; they DO have a seam on the sole- - next project won't (i'm looking for something that uses a leather or suede sole) mouse slipps at: www.claquee.blogspot.com/
