My first felting FO


This is my first felting FO. These were supposed to be for my son but they turned out too narrow. I think the length is right but it won't fit him. So am thinking about trying to shrink them another 2 or 3 inches and keeping them for myself.

I too have had some...er... interesting results with felting slippers. I have found though that some yarns felt differnetly from others. Maybe next time use the same pattern but try a different yarn?

I've tried them on and they are warm. I thought they would be scratchy but they aren't.
