Warm feet

I have made several pairs of these felted clogs over the years. A pair for myself, gifts and house slippers for guests (we try to keep a shoe free house). I have had to darn my slippers quite a few times now and finally decided it was time for a new pair. So this week, over a couple of evenings, I whipped up this pair. And as we have a reasonable amount of water at the moment I thought I could justify a bit of felting.



They are knitted in Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic 12ply in the colourways Pacifica (soles and cuffs) and Cayenne for the uppers.

And now I have warm feet again and hopefully will be able to shake off my chilblains.

Look very cosy, these clogs. I agree: feet have to be warm. But mine are a bit too hot, most of the time, at least the past few weeks.
Did you use the washing machine to felt them?

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. And Annie I did use a washing machine plus a bucket of very cold water!
