Fuzzy Feet! Fuzzy Feet! We Have Felted Fuzzy Feet!

But first - this afternoon I started putting together a box of acrylic yarn for the charity knitting projects for Guild. As I filled the box, I got a little help from my friend.

She climbed into the corner of the box and refused to move. I piled yarn around her. She just sat there. You can't see it, but her face is covered in yarn lint.

And just when I thought she might want to get out - oh noo, she decides to help me arrange the yarn in the box!

So I guess she isn't a total yarn snob. She was just checking to make sure this particular ball of yarn is a good one for our charity knitting.

Now onto fuzzy feet- a before picture of the fuzzy feet. They are a trifle big.

And after felting, they are still a trifle large. But the heel fits perfectly. So the plan is to let them dry a bit, do some molding on them tomorrow and a bit of create surgery on the toes if need be. These felted up very dense. They are gonna be WARM!

I got some puff paint to put on the bottoms, in hopes of slowing the wear. I'm thinking now that leather half soles might be a better idea.

So this was fun. Felting IS magic! But I think that's all for now, since I've felted everything I'd planned to felt. The market tote is still damp, as is Sugar's toy. I'm hoping I can take the market tote to Guild. But it's got a little wave on one side so I think I'm going to get out my steamer tomorrow and see if I can get it to lay down a little.

I had a close friend come by for lunch today and a nice visit. It is so much fun to get to spend time with people you really care about. She and I haven't had a chance to visit in ages and I'm hoping we can carve out more time in the not too distant future.

And the update - Not a bad day, my knees have been kind of sore all day but not extreme. I don't notice any difference with the steroid reduction today since my knees hurt periodically anyway. I'm really ready to be off the steroids!!
