A fast project to make me feel like I've already accomplished something this year, the Simple Garter Stitch Slippers aren't my most polished work. I love the simple construction, but the heels turned out a bit pointy, and I'm not entirely happy with my crochet seams and edgings. I tried to get a bit of a gradient effect by changing one of the two yarns held double, while the other yarn was a grey and black multi-colored one, but it isn't obvious. I plan on knitting more of these, but trying to avoid the things I dislike about this pair. I'll either use a doubled or thicker yarn for the crochet parts, and try to round up the heel a bit.
