Felted Slippers

My favorite felted slippers have been in dire need of replacement for some time now.  I finally got around to it. This is the second time I've used this pattern.  I wish I could give proper credit for the pattern, but it is from a book I checked out of the library more than two years ago.  I copied the pattern so I could mark it up and then kept it after I was finished.  The copy doesn't have any book info on it. Here they are pre-felted: The green yarn is Paton's Classic Wool and the blue is Lamb's Pride Worsted. I made a women's size large, which is probably bigger than I needed, but I like them to be felted as much as possible so they are nice and thick. After two cycles in the washer, they turned out pretty good.  I think one is slightly bigger than the other.  The soles are still damp, so I haven't really tried them on.  They may need another cycle (or partial cycle). My feet are looking forward to wearing them!
