Finally!!

First of all, thank you so much for your comments on yesterday's post. Several of you asked if I'll be offering the bird as a print in my shop. I will. Frankly, I have been neglecting my shops and that will be what I focus on next (wow, focus was totally the right word for me for this year!!). I'll let you know when I've updated both shops with new things...

before the felting

And now, finally I can show you a pair of the felted slippers I've been making.  I made a pair for Daniel for Christmas, then a pair for my sister (the ones shown here) and finally a pair for myself. I wanted to wait to show them on my blog until my sister had gotten hers in the mail... I had never felted before and it worked out perfectly! Mine are the reverse colors of my sister's - the base color is green and the stripes are blue. Daniel's are all blue.

all felted and finished

I bought the pattern at Pawfelt's amazing Etsy shop and just love it! I made the ankle part longer for my sister and me than in the pattern - I just like it better that way. The best part was how fast they are to knit - like making socks for a giant (I have my hand in the photos so you can see how much the size changes during the felting process)! I've worn them nearly every day while it was so cold and they have kept my feet toasty warm! Best of all - easy peasy to make!!

Well, another day of above 70℉ (21℃) today and tomorrow, so we are practically living outside, which also means less computer time... But, I will see you all again tomorrow with some garden photos - everything is exploding in the warm sunny weather!

Enjoy your Saturday!!!
