Knitting for Winter in this heat!
Since I am a crazy woman I thought I'd knit felted wool slippers for the kids during the hottest days of summer! But kids always like slippers don't they?
This is a pattern from www.littleturtleknits.com You knit up the slippers in wool then put them in the washing machine to felt them. They turn into this wonderful soft fabric that's just so comfy! They're so soft and warm!!
Here is what they looked like before I felted them:
And here they are after they're felted:
The kids were so excited about them! And it's most gratifying to hear "Thank you thank you thank you Mommy!!!!" It melts my heart!
If you don't knit th patterns at www.littleturtleknits.com are a great way to learn. This is the Felted Family Mocs Pattern. I've cast on a pair for DH and I'm knitting The Wild Things Crown for DS for his birthday later in the week!
Happy knitting!!
