Norwegian House Slippers


I recently had to say good bye to my torn hole-y slippers that I loved. They were very comfy and had a good run, but they were so frayed they left piece of their fuzzy insides all over the floor every time I wore them. When a good friend of mine from Germany told me about felting, I knew what I wanted to try to make! Slippers!
Felting is basically hand-knitting a project using wool yarn and washing it in the washing machine so that it shrinks and gets nice and fuzzy. I found a pattern for these Norwegian House Slippers and thought they were really cute. They were SUPER easy to make and fun to watch shrink. They're actually really comfy and nice and warm too. So, now I don't have to buy new slippers, I can just make a pair. :)
