Student slippers

In spite of the chunky wight, I feel the powder pink and the discrete lacing at the heel give these ancle socks an air of vintage. Ancle socks, I believe, are quite modern. But these are more like the slippers from pictures of the early Hollywood Starlets.

Nevertheless, the pattern is adapted from one I learnt from my mother as a child, and that she referred to as my granmother's. And this pair is the first of a basketfull I am making for my mum's housewarming next month: She is going away for university college, and will need something warm and cosy for long hours of reading.
