Fuzzy feet….
27th March 2006
I stared a pair of Fuzzy Feet for a friend of mine who is coming to town on Weds for business. this person has been nagging me for 2 years now to make him a pair of sliippers. he has a weird thing about his feet…like they have to constantly be cradled and cared for.
So he told me on Sat he was coming to town on Weds only. What a perfect opportunity to see if i can make a pair of Fuzzy Feet! I’ve done these before…for the same person…and i overfelted them when i made them a year ago. they were small enough for ME. and he’s a guy w/ a size 9 foot. in comparison…i have a size 4 foot women/kids.
So i started them yesterday before i went to Dallas SNB. (this is a RARE pic of me…thanks to Baigneuse for the photo).
I got pretty far before I left there.
So i finished them off this morning..i dind’t have classes so i slept in till noon. it felt so weird. anyway..i finished them today. RAN to my washing machine. but before the washing…i took a picture.
My kitty tried to sneak into the picture. evil baby. 
So i felted them. They came out…OK. i tried to let them dry…and they were just too wet. So my friend came over to move some boxes for me (i’m always moving boxes) and i asked him to try them on b/c he has the same foot size as my friend. they were WAAAY too big. so i thought…RUN TO THE WASHING MACHINE!!!
Bot-Gurl told me to sit and watch the felting to make sure it didnt felt TOO much. Well, i sat there and watched for 8 min. they were still too big. and i walked away. I WALKED AWAY. well, i checked after another 8 min….GUESS WHAT! they are TOOOO SMALL! they are so small they fit MEEEE. sigh…again…i over felted and made myself another pair of Fuzzy Feet.

I dug through the stash and found more yarn to make another pair of Fuzzy Feet. i really shoudln’t bother. hahahaah.
I even called my friend and told him about the escapade. Let the nagging begin..he started nagging again. So i’m going to try again…but i’m going to see if i can do both feet on one long circ. hahaa. figuring out how to cast on has been a bitch! and after all this..he isn’t even coming to town this Weds! whew..i got time. I should finish up his thong.! hey..i can sew in the elastic band since i know how to thread my sewing machine! WHOOOO!!!
