Felted Slippers Before
I spent the weekend making my first pair of felted slippers. On the left is what I knitted. On the right are a pair of slippers that actually fit my feet. Felting involves putting the work in the washing machine and shrinking them down to size. In the process the knitting stitches disappears and you get something that looks like a thick fabric.
Felted Slippers After
Here are the slippers after the felting has been completed. They're still wet in this photo, but they fit!
