    I don't know how to do it, but I am going to figure it out even if it kills me!Christmas is coming, and it's COLD back home in Canada... figure slippers would be appreicated, especially since they put hardwood floors in!

    I am going to go get some wool tonight... and start crochetting. Wish me luck!

    P.S. Anyone actually know how to felt clogs/slippers? I mean, i don't mind the trial and error method, but I am not opposed to suggestions!

    the felting is done. It took a bit more work than web-accounts led me to believe... haha. But, maybe it was because my wool was originally white and then dyed with koolaid... they say that white and yellow wool doesn't felt as well. They are drying right now, but look alright. Learnt a lot, so I am now ready to make 7 more pairs (one for each of the women in my life).
