I haven't tried it yet, because the first bottle had already solidified, so I had to take it back to the shop, but I'm told by a friend who has tried it that it works well.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16481362252017232022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805580631057957340.post-28820694915296486172011-08-23T14:06:43.927+01:002011-08-23T14:06:43.927+01:00Oh, I love these ....

Did you do anything to stop them being slippy, or do you not have that sort of floor?<br />They remind me of knitted slipper/bootees which I used to make for my girls when they were young and would not or could not keep an ordinary pair of slippers on. Knitted ones were warm and comfortable but did not restrict activities. I seem to remember that ordinary slippers were 'in the way' when they were sitting/squatting on the floor.<br />Knitted slippers were so much cheaper too; and, easier to keep clean.Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805580631057957340.post-10915489787485973382011-08-20T14:31:12.005+01:002011-08-20T14:31:12.005+01:00Thanks for posting the link - -definitely have to ...Thanks for posting the link - -definitely have to try these.
