It all started with a pattern by Biv Galeskas called Felt Clogs, published by Fiber Trends. These clogs looked so comfy I had to have a pair. I knit a pair for my husband, and then knit a pair for me.
Add some Cascade 220 yarn and size 13 needles and I am set to go. I prepared the yarn, and left it on the coffee table...see picture below.
Next, meet Stella, my yarn loving corgi.
And now see that I have to start over before I have even begun!! Stella had a
lot of fun while I was at the store:)
Because the yarn was so badly twisted in places I had to cut the yarn and roll it into several balls.
OK, so now I can start on one of the soles of a slipper. I had to make four of these. Two for each slipper for an extra thick sole.
You will have to imagine the knitting I did in the middle of this project. (I guess I decided not to photo journal the whole project.)
Here I have attached the two soles to each slipper and sewn up the inner sole.
Here I have sewn up the outer sole. At this point the slippers would fit a giant. I needed to felt them in a top loading washer. Thanks Christine!!!!
And here they are on my feet:) Absolutely perfect.
Now even though it was not a very cold Minnesota winter this year I did wear them a few times. However, I may have left them at a friends house. If any of you find them at your house please return them to me. I am pretty sure I will need them for next winter!
