Slippers for the Fat Cat

After two wash cycles, I blocked and dried the slippers for my sister. As you can see, Maggie the Fattie wanted the slippers all to herself. I caught her lounging and trying on the slippers. She was even smart enough to pull out the paper balls that I used to block the slipper so that she has a little room for her giant paw.

I'm still not happy with the felting, so I think I'll have to throw them in the washer again before I'll proceed with embellishing it.

I decided to make a skull sock for my sister instead of an argyle. This is the first sock, unblocked with lots of ends to weave in.
The other photos is the inside of the sock.

After I finish both socks, I plan on posting a Free pattern on my pattern page. I'm not sure what to name it. So far, I've thought of 2 names: Skully Socks or Buccaneer's Booty Socks. What do y'all think?

LOVE the skull socks!! The skull motif looks really great, something that seems to lack in some other patterns. Well done! I'll be waiting for the pattern :)

I definitely think Buccaneer's Booty Socks! Those turned out great, by-the-way. I will definitely download the pattern!

The slipper look nice. Perhaps Maggie wants a pair of her own? ;)
