I really enjoyed knitting these socks they knitted up so quick.

The best part is look how much yarn is left over.

I guess I'll be knitting some for myself because the colors match my Belfast Hoodie

Holy Freakin' Felting Cow!

This is a picture of the French Press Felted slippers all knitted up.

All sew together.

Now time to felt it can't be that hard so I looked it up online. Ought oh I don't have a top loader! Okay look up how to do it by hand here. 

Okay cool I buy myself a brand spankin' new plunger and get to work. 

I practically broke my back doing this. By the time I finished I was in shorts and actually in my tub straddling my bucket.

It is not easy, so I put my kids to work. What's that, child labor laws...what?

Anywho I am really worn out truly it's so hard. My arms kinda feel like jelly.

The slippers are blocking now and need the flaps and buttons sewn on. 

Hopefully tomorrow I will have an FO for my Friday.
