My Sissy's House Booties (Gimai No Uwabaki (義妹 の 上履き))

I was cruising around the web when I saw this pattern: Walk in the Clouds.  I was soooooo cute!😍  I thought it would be a great Christmas gift (for next year) for my cousins and girls.  But, to test it out, I needed a guinea pig.🤔  Luckily, I have an awesome sissy who lives somewhere cold and is always willing to be a knitting recipient!😍🤗  So I watched the accompanying video and went to town on her house booties!  It took me a whooping six (6!) days to finish both booties (It didn't help that I messed up the cuff on one side and had to rip it out (twice because I wasn't paying attention and couldn't count if my life depended on it!😵😱) and that I had to redo the seam of the first bootie after I learned how to make a nicer seam on the second bootie😶).  And here's what it looks like:

My sissy helped me pick out the buttons ... the finishing touches (like buttons) are always the hardest to do 😵😬 - do I pick this button or that button?  Is it too big or too small?  Is this button too retro?  Too gaudy??  I scoured all my (own) buttons and discovered that I had a buttload of small/tiny buttons!😨😱  So, I scoured through my mother-in-law's button stash and found the right ones!😊  Good thing I asked my sissy about her opinion on the buttons - I was going to pick buttons that were really bright against her booties; she suggested that it should be a monochromatic look (I wouldn't have thought of that 😳).

It'll be couriered up to her in a few weeks so I hope she enjoys them! ❄️☃️🌨️

UP-DATE:  My sissy loves it!😍

She said it was just the right height and feels nice and cozy ... Perfect when the weather turns cooler. 🍁❄️  She's looking forward to to using it this falls nd winter.  I'm looking forward to how well it'll wear and hold up! 😉
