Sailor Slippers Class
Knit and felt your own slippers!
Looking for the perfect holiday homemade gift? Do you want a cute pair of cozy slippers? The Sailor Slippers are a great introduction into an intermediate project, stripes, and delving into intentional felting. In this class we will look over the pattern together, answer questions, and discuss how you can successfully felt your slippers once complete. During this class, the goal is to get you confidently started on your slippers- they will not be completed within the class time. Knitting in a group is a great way to find community, inspiration and encouragement!
