Felted Slipper Class

There's a Felted Slipper Class coming up.  Roisin finished this NOT perfect pair (so she says...they look good to me). "You can do better!" she says.

Class starts Wednesday Sept 28th, 10:30 to 12:30pm.  We might be able to squeeze one more person in, but it's a packed class.

Sylvie's Stupendous Slippers

Sylvie used one strand of Sirdar Fresco, a nylon bumpy yarn, to reinforce and make the soles non-slip.  Isn't she talented! OMG gorgeous, wouldn't you say??

Sylvie said "The 1st pair was for my daughter on Christmas, the 2nd pair was for my Step Mom's birthday, the 3rd pair was for my Mom's Birthday, the 4th pair was for my girlfriend who bought the pattern to make these slippers, and finally the 5th pair was for me with some of the left over wool, which I love wearing."

And so nicely photographed, Sylvie!

LIsa's Slippers

Lisa (Petra's daughter) has been crocheting up a batch of crocodile stitch slippers in Malabrigo Rios and Galway Worsted.  Very pretty, and cozy.

Joan's Prezzies

Joan has made really lovely Christmas gifts.  The Purple Red-Riding hood bootees knit in Galway Chunky, and Fan Gauntlet Gloves in Noro Silk Garden Lite are done!  Yay Joan!  She said she "sweated blood" during the making of these gorgeous gloves. Just imagine all the fresh new sparkly brain cells Joan now has after such a workout! 

It's all Roisin's fault as it is her gauntlet class, and her pattern. She does like her challenges....and  is happy to share these challenges with others!   Want a challenge? There will be another Fan Gauntlet class in the New Year. Sign up now.  

Slipper Class Produces

Carola's Monday evening classes are producing like crazy.  Slippers and more slippers. There'll be some warm toes in PR this Christmas.

Knit Slippers On Saturday

Now, there's the power of blogging...I just posted about Amanda's great red slippers, knit by Miruh, and Roisin instantly added this comment:

Maria and I will start knitting these during Sat morning class 11-1pm this week Nov 29th. Join us?? 4 - 2 hr classes $60.

Slippers For Amanda

A little while ago we showed you the bootie slippers Miruh was knitting for her daughter. Well, here's Amanda's happy feet. A perfect fit and she loves them, Miruh reported. It's all good.

Grown-Up Booties

Miruh has been knitting grown-up booties for her daughter.  We say daughters are never too old for booties.  Miruh doubled the yarn to make these chunky.  The yarn is 51 % Merino so warmth is guaranteed--and the colour is so cheerful.  Lucky Amanda!

Brenda's Felted Slippers

Brenda's slippers knitted  for the Felted Slipper class she is teaching. The style is the original classic style of Fiber Trends.  Great colours and cozy slippers.  She used Galway 100% wool.

And in the foreground is one of Carola's slippers, made with Alpaca, not felted yet. We are waiting to see how that works out.  Wonderfully, no doubt!

Classic Felted Slipper Class

The Fiber Trends "Classic Slipper" class starts NEXT week. This is the Felted Slipper with the back, not the clog type.
Start Date:  Wednesday Feb. 5th @ 3:30 pm - probably 3-4 Wednesdays

Cost is $60.00 plus purchase of materials.

Sydney's Many Slippers (And One Pair Of Socks)

Look what happens when Roisin and Lynda work their teaching magic! Sydney took Roisin's Cowichan style sweater class and made a couple and then branched off into Cowichan style socks, and then on to Lynda's felted slipper class and then went on a felted slipper making binge....that is a lot of happy feet!

Lynda's Best Ever Knitted Felted Slippers

Roisin thinks these are the bestest ever Knitted Felted Slippers by Lynda.

They were a special order, and the customer chose the colours.  The yarn used is Diamond Luxury Galway Heathers. The soles are too beautiful to walk on, and we think owner of this pair of slippers should learn to walk on his hands!

Berry Beautiful Slippers

Lynda's Knitted Felted Slippers Class is winding down and the herd of slippers is all in the process of being felted.  These are Wendy's so beautiful blue and black ones, a first for this colour combination Roisin thinks.  (And it looks like she is correct...no photos of blue & black ones in the archives!)

Lynda's new creation using the Fiber Trends original slippers pattern.  This one knit with Malabrigo on the top and Diamond Worsted on the sole.  Neat shape too.

A Herd Of Slippers

Lynda's latest felted slipper class slippers herded up for their felting stage.  Check in later for the finished versions--we'll post "before" and "after" photos so you can really see the changes.  The next felted slipper class starts in January.

Felted Slipper Class

Happy slipper class. with instructor Hatted Lynda.
