Notes

Had some pink 100% wool. My friend Steve wanted felted clogs. Hope I can over-dye this stuff… otherwise, he’s getting pink slippers. :)

Finished the knitting part last night - on Christmas Eve. They are ginormous!!!! Got some sewing to do this afternoon after the festivities. I’m wondering if I should dye them before or after felting. Hmmmmm.

Not sure why but I had to machine-felt these babies like 6 times. I even threw them in the dryer! Maybe the yarn was too dense? B&L usually works awesome on slippers. Mind you, I usually only use one strand on the top. Maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe I should have used bigger needles. Who knows. They are what they are.

5Feb13: These things are not shrinking. Steve put them on and they are just enormous!!! I’m not exactly sure what I’ll do with them. I might try to felt them some more at my mother’s - she has a top loader while I have a front loader. If that doesn’t work, I’ll cut them up and make coasters and knit poor Steve a new pair of slippers.
