I finished my felted clogs last night. My mother went to Atlantic City for the week so I took my needles back from her while she was gone so I could get them done. She came back on Friday and was putting some pressure on me (in a nice way) to finish my project so she could have the needles back to finish hers. So, here I was at the dinner table last night putting the second sole on the bottom of the second clog. Fewf. I did it.
These things have to be the ugliest things on the planet. Keep in mind that I haven’t sewed the soles together and woven in my ends but, man are they U.G.L.Y.!!!!!
How about you be the judge.
Not only are they ugly… they’re gigantic!!!
Those are my uniform boots. I’m a size 6.
The first time I made these, I was revolted by how absolutely horrendous they were. I couldn’t imagine that these monstrosities could turn into what was on the cover of my pattern booklet. I made fun of them. I insulted them. I didn’t give them any love.
Then I put them in my washing machine. First go, still ugly. Second go, much better. Third go? They were awesome!
They are now my favorite slippers. I’ve been wearing them for two years and I have yet to make a hole in the foot! They’ve stretched a little over the years but I know that I can just throw them into the washing machine and they’ll come out perfect again.
I have a whole new respect for my washing machine. She doesn’t only clean my clothes, she also does magic with my knitted things!
Ummm….well, if you have done them in a darker color, you could have said it was for the B/F (LOL). They still look nice though. GREAT JOB Mylene and keep up the awesome work.
Oh and thanks for the e-mail. See you Wednesday
Thanks for leaving the needles with me. Now, I\’m the one feeling the pressure!Ha!Ha! No knitting in the cards for me today, maybe a little tomorrow, but surely on Wednesday at Circle. See you then.
