Close

Submitted by ninaclock on March 28, 2007 - 9:00am.

These small scraps of yarn are all that remain of the two balls of Cascade 220 (The Heathers color #9414) used to knit a pair of felted slippers for hubby.

I can't believe how close I came to needing more! I really thought it would take 4 skeins to complete the project. What a nice surprise!

As you can see, these haven't been felted down yet.

The pattern is "Felted Kicks!" from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. You can read my original review of the pattern here. Though I used a different yarn I still used it double-stranded. I also knit the largest size to accommodate my man's feet. Only other change I made was the size of the needles. The pattern calls for US #13, circular, but currently my knitpicks options set only goes to US #11. Now, I'm no felting expert, but it doesn't seem to matter much. Maybe it takes a little more time to felt down...I don't know.

I love my pair of kicks, I'm hoping hubby will feel the same about his.

Great kicks! Good job! On a side note, I thought that it was kind of funny that your blog thinks I am a spammer, but then let a spammer comment! I see that you have since taken the comment off but I hadn't gotton around to commenting. :)
