You wouldn't guess, but that slipper is for Nora's little foot. Yes, it's big. It fits me. But I will put it in the washing machine together with its friend (aka the other one) and felt it. I made slippers like these to my sister for Christmas and they were huge before felting. She seems to really like them, as she asked if I could make some for her kids as well :-)
Nora's current slippers are outgrown by far, and through a hole her toe is peaking out. She still wears them.
You hear, I really need to focus on finishing the second one. She choose the colors with me in the yarn shop so there's a great chance she might actually throw away her old ones and use these. I hope they will fit. You never know excatly which size they'll come out as when felting them in the machine.
The book. It's about book-keeping and annual closing. I have a business. It's that time of the year, yes. I wouldn't have read it if I didn't have too. But, it's helpful :-)
Yarn along with Ginny.
I'm curious to see how the slippers looks felted. I've accidentally felted items in the machine before, and yes, they do shrink quite a bit :(
ReplyDeleteBut since yours will be a "controlled shrinkage" it sounds like a fun and exciting process!!
It's going to be a cute pair of slippers!
ReplyDeleteThose slippers will be lovely! -- Kathy at http://www.needleandspade.com
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet looking slippers! Now go read something fun! You deserve it!
ReplyDeletethank you. i'll show them once they're felted and finished :)
ReplyDeleteand yes - now i'll read something fun instead! :D
The slippers are lovely ! Hope you well with the " end of the year" business stuff. It is our tax time here in the US and I dread it every year.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a fun time of the year ... so many numbers, so many papers ... :/
ReplyDeleteYes, please show us the slippers when they're done! Thanks for sharing...Lori PS. I LOVE that you admit that you're reading a boring book!
