There has, indeed, been knitting! These are my daughter's slippers, from the Pocketbook Slippers pattern. They look pointy, but the pointiness disappears when they're worn. I'm going to attach some non-slip soles yet. I saw a good idea on Ravelry for slippers: the poster had encased a layer of stuffing with 2 soles, to make the soles more padded. I *have to* try this!
