Lizzie’s first slippers.

Today I helped my little sister, Liz, felt her first slippers and I felt so proud. Honestly, I had so much fun that it revived my excitement in felting. Liz got it into her brain to make slippers for several members of her boyfriend’s family but I don’t think she realized what she had gotten herself into. The slippers are a little tricky and you do have to keep your eye on the pattern at all times. They’re not difficult per se, but they do require some short row shaping, etc. However I do think, for the first attempt, the slippers came out amazing.

Here are the next pair of slippers in progress:

Has anyone out there used Lamb’s Pride for felting? I’m a little worried about the mohair content.

In any case, felting is a very forgiving form of knitting art and hides a multitude of knitting flubs.

It’s also a lot of fun!
