Felting: Fiber Trends Alpine Boots

Finished and felted, these cozy little boots are to die for!! Not only are they completely adorable, but they are really a cinch to make, and knit up in no time flat! I think I actually finished them in a few nights, which is amazing with two little ones keeping me on my toes at every step of the way! My son is now insisting I make him a pair as well so I'll have to find a way to boy them up a bit :-) We don't have this pattern available yet but it is on it's way so I will repost the link when it arrives. One little flub I made was when combing the eyelashes of the decorative yarn through to make them stand up, you should make sure if you are going to fold them down to fluff the inside of the boot, not the outside - when I cuff them down they aren't as fluffy which is how little Vivian has to wear them because otherwise she has boots up to her eyeballs. Ahh well, I am still in love with them. I have really been on a peach streak these days and will post a pic of her Dream In Color sweater I made - I ammended it a bit to have short sleeves so I need to crochet a decorative edging and voile! Coming soon ;-)
