Clogs Knit Along

I've thoroughly enjoyed knitting the Fiber Trends clogs. I started mine a couple of weeks or so ago and knitted along with Connie. Thanks Connie for all your help especially picking up the stitches and joining the two soles together. I also learned something new while making the cuff.

Using the Cascade Bulky yarn worked great and these definitely knit fast. I have been home sick with a cold. I completed one entire clog minus one of the soles in a few hours. I'm looking forward making more to give as gifts.

We learned that it takes more yarn to make the soles and cuff. I bought extra hot pink so I'll be making another set of pinks.

3 down, 1 to go

I finished my KAL clogs, and have even started on the pair the man requested.

No, really - see?

Pre felting, I thought mine were big - but they sized down perfectly!

All thoughts of mine being big went out the window when I finished his 1st clog!
This thing is HUGE! 15 inches long!!

I got a tiny bit sidetracked between Trinity's recent mobility issues and a fun Hat for Alex, but plan to return to the 2nd clog tonight after work.

Big Foot!

I must admit, when I started working on these felted clogs I was alittle bit frustrated. I had to rip the sole out 3 times!! After some consultation with Stacey and Wendy, I finally got off on the right foot....and a BIG one I might add! My first felted clog is complete and I hope to finish the second this weekend! If you haven't cast-on yet....What are you waiting for?! See you all soon!

Excuse the ashy legs...LOL!

Half way there

No one faint or anything, but I am not only participating in a KAL, I am 1/2 done!

I started these yesterday, and between putting them down to join my fellow Purls at Bear Rock yesterday afternoon, and celebrating my honey's birthday, I didn't think I would get too far - I was wrong!

I seamed up the bottom sole of the 1st clog this morning, and will be casting the second one on shortly. I want to hurry up and finish these because the man who requests NO knitting ever has requested a pair of these in black and yellow. (Lemon Drop Lambs Pride no less - I offered the harvest gold shown in the pic but he said it "wasn't bright enough"! Hey, I'm just glad he actually asked me to knit him something!!)



These are being made in Deep Olive and Natural Mix Paton's Classic Merino (Probably wouldn't have been my 1st choice, but I had enough of each color in my stash, making this a stash busting project as well! And honestly, I have seen a few pics of this combo on Ravelry and it turns out rather nice I think)

After I get it posted on my blog, I'm off to cast on for the second!
