Finished object...

...this was a quick one.

These are what I'm calling Toasty Slippers [Ravelry]:

Knitted Toasty Slippers

Specs:
Started 2/1/2020
Finished 2/8/2020
Pattern:  Ballet-style Slippers by Kathy North
Yarn: Patons Classic Wool in Plum Heather

The color is a little more red that this photo. I think the second slipper is better than the first. For one thing instead of using only DPNs, I knitted the second one on DPNs and circulars. I used DPNs on the toe and heel ends and circulars on the sides. This made it much easier to deal with the long sides vs. the short ends and I was much more consistent with the decreases on the ends. If I made this pattern again, I'd use a smaller needle size for the ribbing.

I spent some time yesterday replacing the hinge on my spinning wheel and re-seating the connector that holds the wheel open. I'm giving the glue on the connector ample time to dry. Hopefully, it will all hold together when I try it out tomorrow!
