another quick knitted project, i had been wanting to make some felted slippers for a while now (just one of the many things on the 'to do' list in my head) i had brought a couple of balls of 'natures way' chunky yarn from kemps last year, not really having a plan for them, but they were at such a bargain i couldn't resist
as i didn't really stand to lose much, i just dived in head first, having read a few notes from others on ravelry, who had also made this pattern & felted the slippers
i wish i had remembered to take a before photo as they looked so funny
i was so lucky really, as i just chucked them in the washing machine on a regular 40 cycle, with a load of other washing & the slippers turned out to be a perfect fit, the other great thing though is how very warm & cosy they are, i might make a few little adornments for them, as they look rather plain as they are now, but not sure i'll want to take them off long enough to sew anything to them,
my notes can be found here
Wow, they're cute and your so lucky they fit so well. What nice feeling is that, I can imagine!
ReplyDeleteOoooh they look super! I've not tried felting yet- am a bit scared! x
ReplyDeleteThey look really cosy! I haven't tried felting before, not on purpose anyway!:) It's on my never ending list of crafts to try. XxX
ReplyDeleteI have a pair just like these, they were from Toast and were very pricey, even in the sale. I rather think that yours are prettier, though! Laura x
