Pink Flower French Press Slippers
Tuesday, February 1, 2011
Work in Progress | French Press Slippers
I found this patterns on Ravelry and loved it! I kept looking for slippers that were as cute as my extensive shoe collection. While shopping with a friend we found this amazing yarn at Apple Yarns in Bellingham. The yarn is Sulka by Mirasol. Its 60% Merino Wool, 20% Alpaca, & 20% Silk. Despite it being only 60% wool, after some time and foot shaping it managed to felt nicely. The picture you see is the pieces set together. I was unsure about the flower and after many votes on Facebook decided to go with "flower power". Once they are dry and sewn together I will post better pictures.
