So I started to make a pair of Mary Jane slippers yesterday. I didn’t have the correct size of needle or yarn of the righ guage either but regardless of whether they fit me or not, there are lots of new things to learn and shaping to try out which is why I am doing them.
It’s very fun to do something other than scarves, though I daresay I’ll enjoy making them in the winter.

The needles I bought from ebay a few days ago arrived today. Got my first ever circular and DPNs Some of them are quite random and only 1 rather than a pair, but there were loads and for £4 it was a great bargain. Some of them look very old and don’t have the size on them, but I can put little stickers on them once I check them out later.
