tiny felt

So, did you hear it? I was in Cast-on yesterday. I sent in an audio comment with Odeo, and it was cool because I could play it back and re-record if needed. The surprising thing was actually hearing myself on the show. I don't know why, but I figured she wouldn't play it.

Last week I knit the ballet shoes for the Babe, and they turned out huge. These were knit to gauge, so I don't know what's up.

Anyway, I showed them to Knitting Friend Laura, and she suggested hand-felting them to size (I've knit the doll and all accessories with Knit Picks Palette sock yarn). I don't know why I'm surprised, but it worked really well!

With the little ties sewn on the backs of them, they look even cuter. Last night I sewed her tutu together, and a pair of sweat-pant/capris. A few more items of clothing and she'll be ready for her final photo shoot, and then off to NY! My little sister is waiting.
