Felted Clogs

I Can't believe that I am giving this a try. I am one of those people that learn how to do ONE thing and sticks with it. Different colors --- different weights of yarn all work for me but something that requires a new technique scares me senseless. But I am willing to give this a try. I think the worst that can happen is that they will be either too big, give them to my son... or too small ... give them to Jess.

I have read the pattern, marked off the size that I will be knitting and bought the yarn and needles. I have casted on and knit 2 rounds. Phew... this (at least the knitting part) might not be so bad.

I also am working on Camouflage socks for Jess and I. they are really knitting up quickly, she wanted anklets and I like my socks a bit longer 8 inches from the top of the ribbing to the bottom of the heel. I have one of my socks done and I am working on the gusset on her sock.

I think I am going to have to give the magic loop technique a try. When I make socks I always end up making 2 pair because Jess sees them and HAS to have a pair :)...

Some sad news, My LYS is going out of business. I am heart broken... its a great store with wonderful people always willing to help you when you are stuck on a pattern or for suggestions on yarn choices. I don't know what I am going to to now, (except stock up as much as I can)... I guess I will have to venture further afield and find another shop. Sigh.....

Good new... I will be having a Stitch and Bitch at my house this weekend. Some friends want to learn to knit and I said that I would teach them. We will be sipping, knitting, and btiching... I think it will be a lot of fun. I will post pictures of event... I am sure they will want to remember the event!
