Felt right

I have muddled through many winters promising my fella a pair of felted slippers. Now I can report I have finally delivered! I used the chunkiest wool I could lay my hands on and knitted them 25 percent larger to allow shrinkage. The washing machine did the rest of the hard work turning loose knitting into dense felt. They may be different colours (having had to rummage through my spare wool collection) but they work, and now everyone in the house has warm toasty feet. Take that, bare floorboards!
