Fuzzy Feet!!!
I am anxiously waiting for the rinse cycle to finish. I think this is the fastest I’ve ever knit anything - I finished a pair of slippers for myself!
I just can’t wait until they are dry (which I’m afraid will take FOR.EV.ER.)
So, the idea behind these slippers is that you basically knit a big fat loose and floppy sock. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never really figured out WHY people would want to knit their own socks, other than the simple reason that they could. Also, because I never thought I would be able to figure out what the heck the directions were. I mean, heels and gussets and toe decreases… NO way. Can I please have a knit or a purl please?
Then, I spent a month looking at the pattern and hoping one day it would make sense. Also I started thinking, how many scarves can a girl knit?
I think the kiddo is going to want his own pair, so now I’m wondering if I need to make them smaller to begin with, or [omg I think I just heard the washer stop!] if the sizing can all be handled through the felting part. Anyway, I told him he can pick any color he wants.
Observe:
FELTING! So much like MAGIC!!
Maybe one day I’ll be really brave and try to make a sweater. To tell you the truth it’s the sleeves that scare me the most.
