Has it been this long since the last post? Yikes!
We are into our busiest season now; between the opera, students, symphony and random church work, Day to Day has been ignored. But not the knitting. I did finish and have already worn Scoop de Jour - photos soon :-) I promise.
Rhinebeck was *very* cool. I got to meet Vi and Zarzuela and had lunch with a dear friend. I found some beautiful Cormo to spin, hand-dyed merino and bamboo lace weight and a beautiful deep red merino for a special project. It was really cold on Saturday but a nice sunny day. It was also very crowded. I am not too happy with big crowds - it felt like so many people all sort of pushing you along. While it was a wonderful event, I don't know if I will go again. I went by myself - I think it would have been great if I had a fibery friend.
Mom didn't go so I gave her ticket to a lady coming in who was very surprised she just received a free ticket. I hope her day turned out to be a good one.
These are ready to be felted
I love, love, love this Fiber Trends pattern. It is very well written (trust the pattern!!) and the clogs always turn out great. I like to use Classic Merino because it felts so well. And while the color selection at the local hobby shops is limited, I can still find some that are fun. I bought some of this to try for non-slip soles. I'll let you know how it works.
We are having Thanksgiving here with family and friends, so I thought it would be nice for them to have house slippers.
Felting party is Saturday - want to come?
Today starts with morning childrens concerts, so I must get a move on. Have a fabulous rest of the week ~

Love those clogs -- especially the ones for your harpist friend.....
That is right my lovely Laura. Yours are right in the middle. You sounded magnificent this morning, BTW.
Wow, that's a lot of clogs! It is a pretty cool pattern, I have to admit.
My fibertrends clogs are my favorite thing ever!! EVER!! I love them, they are worn 365 days a year. Like you said though...trust the pattern because to read through it it's like ....Huh?
What a sweet idea to make clogs for your guests.
And, yes, I do want to come to the felting party, Ceci. I have not had good luck with felting much of anything in my machine. I need to watch your performance art video of it, me thinks.
Love the clogs! I am interested in seeing how the gripper works out.

i'll wash my feet and brush my teeth, i promise!
