Do not worry if you have not done anything like this before - the knit slipper project was designed to be "the next step" after beginning knitting. All of the tips and tricks you need are given in full color photos and detailed instructions. But don't take our word for it:

I recently ordered and received your Felted Slipper Socks Skill Builder Pattern as well as Brown Sheep Yarn. Being a beginner, I just want to let you know that -- with your clearcut instructions -- I was able to knit and felt my first pair ever! They came out great. -- Bonnie

Start with a solid color felted slipper to "get your feet wet" and then move on to accent colors on the heels and toes, stripes, or touches of novelty yarn to make each pair a custom creation.
