Winter Slippers! No Kidding!

Remember these? Nicki's HUGE pre-felted slipper boots from last Thursday's post?
Here they are today.
The surprise of felting never gets old for me. But holy needles Batman! This is felting with a capital 'F'.

What with our winter of frigid temperatures and power outages, wouldn't these be just the best slippers for keeping your toes toasty? Not to mention your ankles, shins and knees.

100 Mile Sock update.
Sock number two has the heel turned. One gusset to go before knit group tomorrow.

And should you wish to be warmed by things that went on in San Diego last weekend at the TNNA, take a look at Knitspot's blog. Sigh. Someday.

I'm still relatively new to felting, but those are amazing. Capital F is right!

I love those slippers! I love the colors and that they look kind of boots, not to mention that they look very toasty! Where did she find the pattern?

I love the fiber trends felted clogs, and these boots look like almost the same deal except with the leg added.

I'll bet they take a lot of yarn.
