red dragon slippers with mah-jongg tile buttons
the sweater heretofore referred to as the "money pit" -- previously seen only at it's very beginnings -- is on hold this week while more vittadini "fiora" is scavenged. so instead i made a pair of fuzzy feet. that's a great pattern -- it was a great pattern when i made it a few years ago and it still is, and its author's kitchener stitch instructions are also very good.
here are the slippers before...
and here they are after. i pinked a couple of dishtowels in the felting process, but so what.
i've had the mah-jongg buttons for some years now, just sitting around. two bam! five crak! pong! kong! etc.
i walked around in these this morning and warm is not even the word. they heat you up considerably.
