These are a pair of Mary Jane slippers from Purl Bee's website. They have lots of cute knitting patterns there, as well as crocheting, sewing, and embroidery patterns. I knit these with Cotton twirl yarn from Crystal Palace.
For this project I got to do the provisional cast-on for the second time (my cowl scarf was the first time) - good practice for me. I also learned something new - knitting an attached I-cord. Much slower than a traditional I-cord but makes for a polished looking seam. I realize how much I enjoy learning new crafting techniques - it makes my brain feel like it's still working, even if most of my daily tasks are the same every day.

i think you have good timing - this way they're already done when the weather turns cool on you and you're not stuck thinking, "OH! I meant to make some slippers..." which is what i would do! ;)
