Big Feet or not felted?

Got an idea to make some felted slippers. So I checked out some patterns, pulled the yarn and went home on Saturday nite. Honey is a HUGE Notre Dame football fan and the game was on Saturday nite. So we spent some "quality" time together, both doing what we like best. Sitting together, he watching football, me knitting.


I chose Viking of Norway's Naturgarn in a pink multi and their pattern from Viking Garn 0815. The slippers are knit on #15 needles. Breeze!!! By the time the game was over, I had both of them knit and sewn together. (Didn't read ahead and translation suffers a little) Could have knit the toe part in the round but didn't get my DPNs out. No biggie.

Looks like I will be doing some felting. They look like they could fit Big Foot. Haven't felted Naturgarn before so I think I'll stay close to the washer. Was supposed to felt them last nite but was late getting home (new shipment came in) and got behind. Didn't want to mess them up and NCIS and man-candy was coming on so... No, I don't govern my life by TV but when they finally give us a chance for man-candy that actually has some intelligence attached, I feel it' my patriotic duty to support. And.. I can knit while watching too so it's a win-win, right?

I will felt after work today and take another picture so we can compare the sizes. Should be fun. I used 4 skeins and had a little bit left.

Now what else can I start?
