Two FOs in a row – I’m on a roll!
Using the yarn Margene had leftover from her slippers, I made this pair for myself.
My shoe size is 8 1/2, and the pattern sizes jumped from 8 to 9 1/2. Figuring that the 8 would most likely be too small, I made the next size up and just kept felting them until they fit. Not only do they fit, they’re very comfortable – I wore them almost the entire weekend. I should probably go get some of that puffy fabric paint to put on the bottom of them. They’re not really all that slippery (not as much as I though they’d be), but maybe it will help them last a little longer before the soles wear out.

Fabric paint or that stuff you can get to recoat the rubberized handles of tools.
They look like Keens! 🙂
Can’t you get suede and cork slipper-bottoms?
Very nice! They’re better if felted a bit more than I did mine.
So cute!
Love those instant gratification projects! Nicely done!
I made a pair as a sample, but really should make a pair of my own. I think I’d wear them a lot!
