This is my blog for my new business. I've been knitting since Feb 2009 after a break of 15+ years. I first learned from books but picked up again since my friend dyed the most beautiful yarns and I just couldn't collect them. I started to spin in Aug 2010 on a spindle and then on a Hansen Minispinner since Oct 2010. I started to weave Sept 2014 on an Emilia Glimakra Rigid Heddle Loom. I've been test knitting since 2011 and a sample knitter since 2016.

My First Felted Project!
They are still big but then again hubby has big feet. I had to look up instructions on the Internet for how to felt in a front load washer. I could do it by hand but it sound like a lot of work. The key was hot/cold cycle. I don't know if I would do the same cycle. It said it was 99 min. It was washing for a good 30+ min at least. I might try a different cycle but change the spin and water type. It's pretty felted with very little definition of the stitches. Now for hubby to try them on and see what he thinks. Again here is the pattern: http://pilgrimpurse.blogspot.com/2011/12/knit-felt-slippers-for-adults.html
