Fiber Trends Clogs - The ULTIMATE RESOURCE

:frowning: I dont know if I’ll have enough of the contrasting color to finish the other clog!

Margie-Knitting is keeping me calm while in school otherwise I’d be :crying: It’s funny now that I’m in grad school, I’ve learned how to knit english style(I’ve wanted to learn how to do it for 2 years) and I’m knitting things other than scraves. Why didn’t I do this when I had a job and a lot more money to buy yarn?

humblestumble-I did the same miscalculation with my colors. Don’t worry…but go ahead and order/buy more yarn.

I didn’t miscalculate, but I just don’t have enough. I think my gauge is a little bigger than the pattern calls for or that my yarn may be a little thicker. I knew I should’ve bought an extra skein in the beginning - drat!

Gave my friend her Pastaza clogs last night…she LOVES them…we went to their house after dinner & I felted them. This stuff is CRAZY INSANE fuzzy! :shock: I had HANDFULS of fuzz in the pillowcase each of the three times I checked them. That said, they are also the THICKEST clogs I have ever made! And, they felted VERY quickly. A friend took pics, so as soon as they are emailed, Ill post them.

You know, I just realized after seeing the pictures of the clogs in progress that I’ve been doing some things backwards - my yarn is inside while I knitting, and where I pick up the cuff is on the outside versus the inside… Not that it mattered for the end product. It might be a good idea, Kelly if you ever knit another pair to take pictures at various stages to post what yours looks like. I think that might alleviate some stress when people are attempting to work these. I know that pictures would have helped me… still would!

Lion brand now sells the clog pattern! How weird!

Hi All!
I’m just about ready to start my clogs!! I bought Patons 100% Wool. Does anyone know if that will felt well? I can’t wait! I think everyone in my family is going to have to get a pair!

Hi NinaT,
That yarn should felt really well, I believe someone here has used it for their clogs, but not sure who :?? They are so fun to knit, I made them for Christmas gifts this year. :thumbsup:

Thanks Danielle!
Can’t wait to start. I’ll be making something for myself for a change.

Nina,

I think that’s what I used for a pair for my DD. It felted really fast, but I was a little disappointed that some “ridges” were left behind. I’ve been thinking about running them through again, but DD protested. :wink: I’ll have to sneak them away!

Anyway, they did felt fast even my front loader. So, I would think it would be just fine.

I havent finished my clogs yet because of the sucky weather and me not needing them (same thing happened with my fingerless gloves - only made one) But I made them with Paton’s wool. I don’t know how well it felts, but I’ve heard things about it felting fast.

so after all this talk about clogs I just had to try them. :wink: This is my first pair they have a couple of mistakes in them, but after felting you can’t even tell anymore. :smiley:

:cheering: They look great!!! :cheering:

You people have done it. I went out and bought the clog pattern for kids sizes. I figured that would be a good place to start. :doh:
After the KO I will start a pair. :happydance:

Everybodies clogs are simply beautiful!

Finally I finished my own pair! I had the dreaded “second clog syndrome” since December but I made myself sit down and finish the 2nd yesterday. I can’t wait to wear them. They actually turned out pretty bad, I think felting them at 4 AM was a bad idea… :roflhard: The bottoms of them look awful! Oh well!

I think they look great! I love the color combo!

Thanks! WOTA Hollyberry and Snickerdoodle is the yarn

This is my latest pair…I am trying to work up the nerve to needle-felt them. :shock:

Gorgeous Julie, what yarn is that? I love the colors
