Elf shoes

This is a pair of Elf Shoes that I made from some waste yarn for my son. He's now 18 months old and has found out that he can take his shoes on by himself as long as they are big enough (like mommy's and daddy's) or more like boots so I made these a little bit too big for him. They are made of wool and felted in the washing machine.


Felted Elf Shoes for my son

Tunisian stitch felted bag

I just learned how to make the Tunisian stitch (in Swedish it's called krokning) and since I already had yarn enough to make a bag I improvised one. First Tunisian stitched the bag and saw it all together and then I tossed it into the washing machine (40˚C) along with a couple of towels and some soap instead of laundry detergents. This is a way of felting which I've used before when making tea cozies, slippers and a couple of other things. When I took it out I added buttons and filled the bag with stuff in plastic bags to get the shape I wanted. I think it turned out just the way I wanted it.
