I have a huge collections of patterns and books. Some of them I try out. There are some that I never finish, some that I finish and say, "I'll never make that again" for whatever reason, and some that I make over and over again.
The felted clog pattern by Fiber Trends is one of those patterns that I make again and again. I have made well over 30 pair.
We don't wear our shoes in the house so these slippers are our "home shoes." They get worn until they have holes in the soles and toes. P thinks they are very fun when they are so big. The color is actually a deep blood red, not the pinkish look in the photos.
In an effort to make the slippers last longer I tried knitting wooly nylon with the wool on the sole on this pair. It felted up nicely and I will be watching how they wear.
B has two pair, one for the basement and one for the rest of the house. That way he doesn't track saw dust and other "basement stuff" upstairs. I have made them in all sizes from the child's small to the men's large. One year I made them for each of my nieces and nephews. I gave them to them in the prefelted stage so they could have the fun of shrinking them to fit their own feet. I am not sure how much fun my sisters had with that project but I think the kids enjoyed it.
I noticed today that someone else had holes in their slippers so I have already started the next pair.
Yep, this pattern is a keeper. It knits up fast and we all love wearing them. They really help keep the feet warm in the winter.
