Slippers for a Giant

I am still not feeling well... although I sound worse than I actually feel. I barely have a voice! I spent last night and today working on a pair of slippers. The technique is called felting! You knit the object big, wash it, and then it mats like felt and becomes much smaller! Here are a couple of pictures of my first slipper:



Michel just can't believe that these slippers will "shrink" and fit me... he has decided that it makes a great French beret!



I'll post the finished project later.. it takes time as you need to wash them several times.

It is beautiful out again today.. but hey it is Arizona! I am resting comfortably on the couch so that I can attend tonight's big chocolate festival...mmmmm.... chocolate!
