Felted Baby Booties!
So, I felted the baby booties for my nephew. I think they might actually fit him now. However, they were supposed to have ties through eyelets near the top with pom poms on the ends so you could tie them on so they won't fall off. The eyelets I knit in closed up during felting.
As I see it, I have two options. The first is to try to re-create the eyelets and thread the ties through (I already crochet-chained the ties and made one of the four pom poms for the ends). The second is to forget about the ties and just hope they don't fall off as is. What do you think I should do?

I say go for the ties, otherwise they are doomed to always be kicked off. Those babies have no appreciations for handknit footwear.
They really look nice! It might be worth trying to thread the ties thru the closed-up eyelets with a tapestry needle.
