The sock continues… I turned the heel ok I think and now am working on the gusset shaping.
But here’s a recent finished project.

This was my second felting project and it was a lot easier than last time. The pattern was from a recent issue of Let’s Knit magazine and the felting wool was from Knitting4fun.com
Knit on 10mm needles, it was quick to knit and turned out huge. I wasn’t sure how much it would shrink when felted, but it shrank to just the right size. I felted it by simply sticking it in the washing machine at 40 deg C. I might line it with some pink fabric when I get time. It was supposed to have a flap to do it up, but I didn’t have enough fushia pink wool left to do it – the only draw back of the pattern and its yarn requirements.
