Honey I shrunk the kid's....... slippers

Oops, making fuzzy feet for yet another son.
as usual huge when finished knitting, would
fit a small elephant....so off to washer
for felting....

Sadly, they now would fit a SMALL child...
needed to be about size 10 men's.
Instead now a child's size to fit probably an 8 year old,
or a small stuffed dog, or even your house cat...







Last photo shows cute little slippers next to
my own slippers size 7 women.

No before photos taken, as never really
had a felting issue...this is the perfect
example, of not doing washer quick checks
as you felt...always have, but was online
with Ravelry, and just lost total track of
what I was doing. but they came out so nice
and do have a good home all planned for them.

~As for my son, well guess one of these days
I'll attempt another pair...but for now I have
Socks Fever...............
