I went into my favourite LYS (Cricket Cove) this past weekend (I have to be careful not to drool on things when I'm in there!!). A week or so before this I bought a copy of Fiber Trends felted clog pattern there. This time I got some Alafoss Lopi to make my first pair (for hubby). The colours he chose were Grey Green, and Forest Heather. As a new knitter I've never used this yarn, and I look forward to trying it out. I also signed up for a felted clogs class. I could figure it out on my own, but this way will be much more fun. I can't wait!


I finished knitting my Fair Isle bag. For the top edge, I knit 1, purl 1, before binding off. This helped a little with it rolling over. I was quite nervous about throwing it in the wash, especially since my last felting project (see little Sophie Bag below!). Its turned out great so far. I can't wait until its dry! I ran out of Patons dark grey, so I have to get more to do the straps.

Here are a few before pictures, the first one shows the inside, plus my poochy!:
