Proud to be on the downslope of fashion

Well, it looks like I'll have another project to take with me on vacation - the Cascade 220 Quattro I ordered last week from KnitPicks is on its way to me and should arrive before I leave.

Yes, I have decided it is time.

Time for me to make myself a pair of Fuzzy Feet.
Yes, yes, I know this was all the rage in what, February? I just never had any feltable yarn on hand before now. And when I saw the Cascade on sale, well, it sort of clicked.

Besides, it'll be fun to try to felt something to size. My only prior felting experience was a pair of socks for CIC (so size didn't matter, they would fit someone). It was quite surprising how fast they shrank down.


I'm just hoping my mom won't prevent me from felting them while I'm there ("all that lint in my new washer!"). Although, I'm actually contemplating sink-felting so I can control the shrinkage more. I don't want to have to wind up giving these to one of my littlefoot friends.
