Fuzzywuzzy was a . . . sock?
The fuzzyfeet are done! I got home later than normal last night and then when hubby got home we went to pick up a pizza so I didn’t start felting them until around 7 last night. It went pretty quickly and they are just awesome! Here they are pre-felting in all their gigantic glory. I placed a highlighter on one for reference. I thought about stuffing our smaller cat in one of them but he gave me an evil look and ran away before I could catch him. The Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride worsted felted really quick for me. I think they were the right size after about 10-15 minutes in the wash. I spun the excess water out of them a
nd immediately put them on so they would form to my feet. I left them on for a couple of hours and they enjoyed watching hockey with me. Though the game didn’t turn out like I had hoped, the fuzzyfeet were all I had hoped for and more! The definitely live up to their name and I can’t wait to wear them tonight when they’re all nice and dry. After wearing them awhile last night, I left them on top of the dryer to well . . . dry. This morning they were almost completely 
dry so I’m sure I’ll be able to wear them tonight. Here they are post-felt after I had worn them. I bought 2 skeins of the Lamb’s Pride and only ended up using one skein. So I offered to make my mom a pair when she is visiting at Christmas.
Speaking of my mom, she made her first ever visit to an LYS yesterday. I gave her a wishlist of sorts for Christmas. She had a lovely time petting the yarns and seeing the knitted garments hanging around the shop. She had such a wonderful time that she now wants to learn to knit! Yippee! So I’m going to get her started over Christmas! I’m really excited about that. Maybe I’ll have her make her own fuzzyfeet!
While I was watching hockey and blocking my fuzzyfeet, I worked on the second bedsock. I’m 6 rounds from finishing and I’ve run out of yarn. It’s the same size of the first one and I had enough yarn with a little bit left over. So now I don’t know what to do. The sock has been put aside until I can decide what to do with it. I have some of the Elsebeth Lavold Angora left over from the other pair of socks I did in another color. Maybe I’ll just finish off the toe with that color and call it good. They are for me, for around the house so noone will see them. I’ll have to think about it for awhile though.
And I’ve cast on for yet another project which is not a Christmas gift. (I know, 1000 lashes with some wet alpaca!) But the lure of cables got the best of me. I’ve started Kepler and I’m in love with cables! I have to stop after every row to see how the cable pattern is coming out. I look at it, giggle, oh and ah, giggle some more and then knit another row. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. (Can you tell this is my first foray into the world of cables?) I’ve done 2 repeats of the cable pattern and just love it. But I plan on working on some Christmas gifts this weekend. Roscoe plans to make sure that I do. Just check out the evil look he’s giving me. Either he’s using it to motivate me to knit what I should be knitting or he’s just mad that I took his picture. (Those green eyes just freak me out!)
