Hunting can be fruitful!

I was wandering around Winners the other day........

And found this for $3. Everything is in it..... and now I can start the felting adventure I have been babbling to my friends about. Retail says about $25.

For all this! Sometimes I am soooooo my fathers' daughter! Searching for clearance deals! LOL. Thanks Winners for carrying amazing variety! (Remember that post about picking up supplies for good ideas...... yes this is one of those things. I already have a bunch of great roving from all sorts of places.)

They are done... mostly

Here they are, warm and lovely.... but they are a bit too big, so I am putting them throught the machine again. I love this process! I guess the only thing that is a problem is that felting really only goes one way. LOL

I can't wait to wear them and give them! Purple ones are for my Mother in Law. There are two pairs for me, and the one for Jen. I think that Jen is intrested in the purple yarn so I may be turning over the rest of that to her.... I don't know what to use it for, except one more pair of slippers.

New Projects

A good friend of mine and I are trading skills.
She can spin....... and I can't.
So in trade for some spinning...... I am making her something warm and lovely.

Slippers! The first half of a pair of Fibre Trends Felted Clogs. I am finished most of the slipper and am on to the top cuff. Next step is the second sole and then on to slipper two!

These are pretty close to the pair that I knit for myself and finished in the beginning of January. Same colours. Aren't they nice? Patons Classic Wool for the black and Patons Soy Wool Stripes for the main foot. I love how the striping works out. Can't wait to be finished with these so I can get them felted up for her! Trades are where it's at!
