Sorry Peacetrain, no offence, but they are REALLY horrible!

 erm . . . but I´ve already started knitting a pair for you, in pink and yellow with a lime green pom pom at the toe 

 Super!  But they will be far too nice to wear, I will keep them safe in a box in the bottom of the cupboard

Has anyone got a pattern for turkish slippers? 

 I was given a pair on my last trip but unfortunately they were too small.  I´d also like to knit some for my grandchildren.

Even better, these look brilliant but the book is very expensive (at least $90 ). 

Many thanks

I really love knitting too

But I do it with "The Turkish Knitting Method":

I tension the yarn around my neck from left-to-right.

The yarn runs from the skein through the space between my left thumb and forefinger, around the neck, and then straight to the knitting needle. I then "throw" with my left thumb. 

try it please!!

 Hmmm you need to have that wool just a tad tighter around your neck...

I guess you really do NOT know anything about knitting  Aenigma!!..

You need to have the wool thighter when you knitt something with high density..

I was talking about it in generic sense to give you some idea about ´TURKISH Knitting´!!

OK? 

 Aha!  Well that is where you are wrong actually, TheKnitmaster.  I can knit, sew, embroider, crochet and do tapestry so there!   In fact, I would make a perfect wife for a mysogynist Turk!

Just pull that wool TIGHTER theH....in fact, wrap it around your neck a few more times

I feel a ´sheer jealousy´ in your post (about my knitting skills I assume )  

 oh not jealousy........ looked like a proposal to me
