Slippers for Knitwits

The knowledge that Knitwits needed more slippers for men got me making some. It is hard to get the gals to make men things because men don't like the pretty bright colors most of us like to knit. So I have been concentrating on mens items most of this past year. If you will recall, I made several pair of mens mittens earlier this year. I got 3 pairs of slippers done in the last few weeks. With 2 strands of worsted yarn held together, these knit up very quickly.
