Women's knitted dorm boots

I knitted a pair of ladies medium dorm boots today.  I found the pattern here and adapted them so I had less seams to sew up ... I put them on circular needles/double pointed needles when I started the "foot". I had made two pairs of men's dorm boots earlier in the week and they were quick and fun to knit.

I used Bernat Softee Chunky Yarn (6) in Black Plum and 6.5mm needles.
