We all have that one skein of totally crazy yarn that called our names at a craft show. It screamed to you, “take me home,” and you couldn’t imagine leaving those gorgeous colors orphaned. When reality sets in and you have no idea how to handle the crazy texture, knit a pair of these wild and fun slippers. Bonus: if you make a mistake, it will be almost impossible to see!
