Layers of Meaning: Felted Blankets

My feet are cold. Not really a newsworthy observation, but there you have it. Sometime in late October I begin to get cold by early November I feel chilled most of the time. By December the chill is in my bones and I begin to doubt that I'll ever get warm. If I'm lucky, I start to thaw in early April, but it is often more like May.

I mention this because while sitting on the couch with the baby on my lap, I found myself searching the pile of things next to me for a blanket or something to pull over my feet. What I grabbed was a sweater which worked beautifully when I put my feet into the sleeves and pulled the body of the sweater up over my knees. This reminded me that I have a couple of felted sweaters in the studio that would make warm fuzzy slippers. So I started looking for a slipper pattern for inspiration and found this instead... now I want to make a blanket.
