With our new dilemnna of cold floors in the morning (afternoon and evening) and no shoes, slippers are in high demand around here. Those who have a momma made pair of slippers are very much the envy of those who don’t and those who do have them could really use a new pair. This makes for a very convenient 12 nights of Christmas gift. For those of you who have not been here for other Christmases, we celebrate the 12 nights of Christmas the old fashioned way, for the 12 nights after Christmas. They conveniently lead up to Epiphany. Since Advent is not a time of celebration but instead preparation, the 12 nights are supposed to be after but hey, who’s looking? If you celebrate it before, at least you celebrate it yes?
Our children don’t get nice gifts like this every one of those nights, oh goodness no! But, some of those nights they will get some new slippers and the following night they will get a new cozy for their drinking cup. I am hoping to get some names embroidered on them as I have done in years past. Hopefully all in due time.
Yarning along as usual and running to the post office with the last run for the season.
Note** A friend of mine posted this on FB this morning. Cuppow is giving a rebate on purchases today. I really love the guys who run this company. If you need a last minute gift, do this one!!

The kiddos are getting their own cuppows in their stockings this year. I just finished the second cozy last night actually! It sounds like your family has some wonderful holiday traditions.
Are you able to share your pattern?
What an amazing colour! Here I am having just (literally minutes ago) told my collegue that I'm so not a pink person and now I'm in love with pink slippers…
Katharina, Its Perestroika Pink from Peace Fleece 😉
I am definitely knitting some slippers for myself after I get done with all the obligatory knitting! I love how you celebrate! Have a wonderful Christmas.
Those are so cute! The color is perfect.
love the slippers and cozy. 🙂
Those slippers are beautiful.
Is making slippers different than making socks? It seems like they would be. I’ve never tried slippers.
Oh no! They are much, mush easier. These were made with my own pattern that I made two years before I could even make socks 🙂 It is very simple, I promise and fast.
What delightful presents.
