Felted clogs

 I have had the Fiber Trends Felted Clog pattern for YEARS. Finally, now that my daughter needs the largest size in the pattern, I got around to making them. They're a bit big, but that was planned, as the other slippers fit her really well right now.

Felted slippers

 I just made these felted slippers for my daughter. I will DEFINITELY be making more. They're so quick and easy. The origami-like folding and sewing at the end isn't hard once you watch the video WITH the knitted piece in hand. I watched the video before I did the knitting and was completely lost. Here's a link to the pattern: Easy House Slippers


I used Paton's Classic Wool and a size 10 needle as I couldn't find any size 9...

Here they are after knitting, but before folding and sewing.

Next to the intended wearer's foot. 

After felting. I've never had this yarn be so shaggy after felting. I was going to shave the slippers, but my daughter LOVES them like this.

I was worried that they were too small, but they are PERFECT!
