Presenting. . . my little green felted Mary Jane slippers. I know they are unusual. I know they are very green. But I know I love them. I made them out of Plymouth Yarn's Galway in a colorway I am calling "cut grass". Instead of using buttons and elastic to secure the straps, I am using snaps.
I can't wait to wear them this winter when the floors are cool to the touch and I pitter-patter up and down the stairs.
Next you'll see one of three felted bowls I made this week. I am getting a jump on my holiday knitting. If you take a peek at the Finished Objects page you can see two red ones that I also completed. They look a little lumpy as I photographed them while they are still damp and they were a bit weighted down by the water. My first batch wasn't a hit, but this most recent group came out just right.
I used a single strand of Reynolds Lopi for this blue bowl and I stretched it over our vegetable strainer. It gave it a great shape. I think I may have found my blocking mold!

Well, I like them, too, both the slippers and the bowl. Beautiful work.
Cool colors!!! Where will you wear your new mary janes? You are getting so good with your knitting! Everyone that receives a handmade piece from you this holiday season is blessed!!!
I feel a barter coming on!!! hee!!!
The Mary Janes are wonderful- well felted and a really good shape. I have made quite a few things from One Skein but not yet tried the bowls. After seeing so many beautiful examples on the One Skein Blog, I am tempted to try.
Those Mary Jane's are waay cool and super fun!
I love the bowls! If i ever get into felting, I have to try it.
Those shoes show you have the "sole" of an artist! They belong in a gallery in the Emerald City!
