I finally got around to finishing my Norwegian House Slippers. Even though they knit up super fast because the pattern is so darn simple, life still got in the way. I saw the pattern in a Craft post and was amazed at how simple it was. It's basically an 'L" shaped striped scarf. The trick, however, is in how you stitch it up when finished. Luckily, they have a video for that because the diagram didn't do anything for me. I simply sat down in front of the computer when it was time to stitch and followed along. It took two wash cycles to get the proper density and size. With the weather getting colder, I'm happy to have a new pair of slippers to wear around the house. Quick and easy, I'll probably make more. Because they are built in squares they can be a great way to use up leftover balls of wool. Below is a picture before felting. If you've felted before, this won't surprise you. If you haven't your slippers will seem huge. But they shrink quite a bit when washed and it's a good idea to check their progress along the way.
