Quickie


Just a quick post to show off the post-felting wonderfulness that are the Fibre Trends Ladies Felted Slippers, knit by Marti when I was "off knitting" -- MY SIL loved them (even though -- and I swear to the knitting gods I don't remember doing this) I gave her a pair of felted clogs for her birthday a few years ago. The ones I gave her were too big, and she never mentioned it, so I must have forgotten about them. She was pretty excited by the pretty colour, and the fact that they fit! (I gave her fleece jammies to match)
Details:
Pattern - Fibre Trends Ladies Felted Clogs
Size - Ladies Medium (to fit an 8 - 9 shoe)
Felting time - under 14 minutes (watch em or they get too small ... nearly overfelted these!)
Knitted by Marti
Materials - Patons Classic Wool Merino - Teal and Patons Classic Wool Merino - Black
Love them! I see a pair for me in my future ... I have knit many, many pairs of these clogs (in my pre-blogging days, but have never knit a pair for me (T has a pair, but I never got around to making a pair for me -- I have some burnt orange and some olive green that would look stunning)

Nice! We just got back from MIL's, and step FIL was still wearing his old ones from two Christmases ago. They have new "soles" in the heels, a few times, I guess. Other than that they look perfect. The new ones are under the tree still. I think he'll end up keeping both pairs. Was talking to him a couple of days before Christmas, and he said he hoped that's what he was getting. :)

Wow Marti is awesome! What a great friend. I hope your Christmas was fun and that you have a wonderful New Year. Plus that you recover soon, so you can start knitting again!
