I finished those felted sliippers and felted them today. so i rushed...b/c i told my friend i had them all ready...when in reality, i hadn't done jack w/ them. so i rushed...made the Fuzzy Feet. Got them all done and got excited about felting. So here they are..PRE felt...

They look weird huh? esp the one on top. that is weird looking b/c i didn't make that one too well i suposed. got into a hurry and wanted to finish! So i felted them once...didn't like how they felt. plus they were huge. still too big for the friend inteded for. so i decdied to felt again...just to make sure they weren't flopping off his feet. stupid mistake. they felted TOO much and are TOO small. i pulled them out and thought "these look tiny....." so i tried them on. OMG...they fit me PERFECT!!!!!!!NOOOOO!! i was intending them to be made for a size 9 foot, male. my foot is a size 5 or size 4...women's. size 4 - kid. I FELTED TOO MUCH!! so i guess i am keeping these for myself now!!! all that hard work for my friend...for nothing. oh well. i didn't want to make him slippers anyway. i was just sick of his nagging and told thim i had done them already to get him off my back. sigh. that's what i get for lying. oh well. i have cute slippers now. :)

My friend Lilyan said these look like micro fuzzy feet! HOW RUDE! hAHAHAHA

Didnt' the Quattro felt so pretty? :-D

I feel reborn! hahaha. but then i think my school work has suffered a bit. i'm not practicing like i should. So i have vowed to limit the amount of knitting I do b/c school work comes first. I need to get my speeds up. So i started on that poncho i talked about last week. I'm about....1/3 of the way there? i think? :D so far i'm really happy w/ what it looks like. here is a preview...it's all stretched out on top of my machine's bag. :)

how do you like the colors? i think they are awesome!! they looked SOOO different on the skein. ic an't wait to finish it. my english teacher thought i was making a hat. I was all "Umm..this is a big ass hat". HAHAHAHA.

Then since i'm going home for the holidays, i promised my friend before that i would make him some felted clogs. well, stupid me told him i actually finished them. yeah..i hadn't even started yet. so i decided to make the Fuzzy Feet rom Knitty.com. So far they are knitting FAST. i hope they felt right. i really have to watch it b/c i have a different washing machine from what i had before.

i'm using Casade 220 Quattro. :) i'm so excited. i can't wait to see how they felt!!

Now, i would like to say i did this in a day...but no. it took me since Saturday. so about a week...esp since i didn't work on it non stop for a few days. it would have just taken me a weekend if i kept doing it. so here it is...

this is the first baby garment i have made in a long time. so i'm pleased with it. i was kind of scared b/c the gauge of the yarn didn't match the gauge in the pattern...so i had to do some ALGEBRA (i love algebra!!!) to figure out the pattern. the length of the front and the back don't "exactly" match. but i hope once the recipient has it on, no one will notice. hehehe. now i'm worried that the baby i wanted to give it to...i'm worried it won't fit her. sigh.

i start my poncho TONIGHT!!!

There is alot of cute stuff in there, but nothing extra ordinary in my opinion. but it's got good stuff. ill post finished pictures later when i get done. gimme a day or so. :) I'm going to work on the Simpatico Poncho next. It's a realy cute poncho written by a friend for Simpatico Yarns. i got some nice nice Interlacements merino wool for this project. I can't wait to get cracking. esp since it's getting colder here in Texas. that's all for now hahaa. i'm getting cold. i need to put on some sweats! |W|P|110023356986750078|W|P|Toddler sweater|W|P|purse.ho@gmail.com
