Comments: I keep stealing Mike's wool socks to keep my feet warm, so I figured I'd better hurry up and make myself some slippers! The yarn I want to use is smaller than what is used in the pattern, so I had to make a swatch first. I didn't get gauge, hence the widening of the swatch to see if one extra stitch would make up the required 4 inches. Not that that helps my overall gauge, but I think I'm willing to just fudge the pattern a little! :)
