Look, I made another pair of felted slippers ^_^
The other slippers were nice, but they were a little too small for me. These slippers however are perfect. Not too lose and not too tight. And plus I had some white wool yarn sitting around that I wanted to use for something. So yay, new felted slippers! ^__^
here's a picture of me wearing them


Also, just to give you an idea of how much these things shrink up when they get felted:
( before and after photo )

So I felted the hat last night and I actually really like the result. Though since I said I was going to knit a hat for Aileen (not make a felted hat) I'm going to start Aileen's hat over again. Though, at least I got a felted hat out of this ^_^
any way, I've already shaped it to my head, so I don't think it would fit any one else quite right o_O"
and the pattern is wrong too. BUT after making some adjustments I think that I have the pattern nice and figured out.THIS is what I am doing for Aileen's hat. Though of course it will be wider, but since it's just a strip pattern I really didn't need to plan that part out. Though I do need to figure out how large to make it so it wont be so large on Aileen's head o_O"
I think I'll take Eric's advice and do some test swatches first.

yay, I finished knitting my first pair of my slippers! ^__^
They don't look exactly alike, but I guess that's what happens when you knit and felt them separately o_O"
oh well, I'll make sure to next the next pair at the same time. But only after I finished the hats for angelic_fg and arsenicandtea ^_^

So, as you can see from the photo above the slipper turned out good ^__^
It's a little smaller than I was expecting, but I think it's cute! ^_^
now, I just need to add a bottom or something to make it even cuter. and of course I need to knit the other slipper. Though, I should probably start working on Aileen and Falon's hats soon o_O"
Well, I'll just knit my slipper and then I will start work on the hats! ^_^


and on a completely random note, look at this REALLY CUTE blinkie I got at jens__graphics! ^__^

and the felting process of my slipper has begun! I didn't use a pattern, I just saw this photo and sorta figured out how to make the slipper on my own. Now, the only question is, will it work? Did I make the slipper big enough? did I make it too big? Or too wide? o_O"
Well, I'll find out soon enough.


Wish me luck! ^_^

So yeah, even though I haven't been posting about it, I've been knitting a lot lately. Also I just recently got into felting, which is fun. ^_^
any way, here's photos.

( 5 photos of things I've been working on )

And here's a list of knitting projects I have for the future.
+ A couple of squares for Warm Up America!
+ Square hat for angelic_fg and arsenicandtea
+ Scarf for Joe
+ Another Ipod Cozy
+ Slippers for myself
+ A hat for myself

Yep, that should be enough to keep me busy for a while. Now, I just need to buy the yarn for angelic_fg and arsenicandtea hats o_O"

oh yeah, Aileen! I said I needed you to pay for your yarn, but that's ok. I figure knitting you guys hats it a good way of paying you back for all the supplies I've been using and of course giving me a ride to the SRJC all the time ^_^
I just can't say when it will be when I do end up buying the yarn. Well, I have some extra money so I might buy it today. I'll see. BUT Joe needs to to pay for the yarn for his scarf. Heck, I need to know what color and type of yarn he wants first before I can do anything o_O"
