It IS a very fast knit.
I bought the pattern last night and I'm halfway through the 2nd slipper (size 3) and would have that finished if my morning hadn't been so busy!
Another great LTK pattern!!

the pattern's actually knit flat back and forth (not in the round), but the way that it's shaped in the toe it's much easier to knit it on circ needles becuase you get the flexibility of the cord But, it's no different than knitting flat on straights, really

oh!!!!! good!!! i just purchased the pattern yesterday, and i am such a newbie that i was going to ask if it's knitted in the round (is that the term?) using circs...i have a pair of circs with the cord that's way too long for the casted on stitches.
pls ignore my ignorance! teehee!

I partially finished one last night and found it much easier to use dpn's. Things got really tight after I picked up stitches for the sides. I can't wait to get it finished up though!

it's only tight like that for a row or two after all the pickups, then it gets easier
What is a heavy worsted weight, canyou tell me a brand I could see in a store. I need to know if I have any in my stash. I might try these. I haven't knit in a long time, my hands go numb so quickly when I do so. But these are tempting me anyway!

bartlett's fisherman, peace fleece, plymouth eco, or lamb's pride worsted. lion brand fishermans or cascade 220 work if you double strand it
I am stuck on the instep section! Please excuse my newbie-ness...I even took a pic...
Where do I go from here? I am not sure what "top of foot" stitches mean...I knit continental style and am fumbling as to where the the needles should be going etc... Though I do know that picking up stitches mean.
I guess I don't know where my start point is for this section, which direction I should be going and which hand is holding the needle that has the yarn hangin from it at the start point.
But, it's no different than knitting flat on straights, really
