Local Roots Slippers
“I love to knit slippers because they’re fast, satisfying, and my favorite thing to wear on my feet from the early days of autumn to the last cool mornings of spring! The texture on these slippers makes me want to pack up and head north to our cabin on the lake. They’re knit from cuff to toe, with an afterthought heel.” — Andrea Mowry
