Fiber Trend Clogs

The Stats:

Yarn: I used Paton's Merino Wool. The largest women's size took less than 2 skeins of the cuff / sole color, and less than 1 of the upper color. You hold the yarn double for the entire slipper. I used kool-ade dyed fisherman's wool (done like this link) for the bright reddish/blue pair. They didn't felt quite as quickly as the Paton's.

Needles: Bamboo size 13 circulars.

Pattern: The fiber trends clog pattern. I think you have to get it at local yarn shops?

Started: Sometime in October 2007.

Completed: November 25, 2007. They've been knitted for a while, I just had to get to the felting part.

Notes: Another great pattern. They knit up pretty quickly. I liked it!

Fetching Mitts

The Stats

Yarn: Tan Paton's Merino Wool, Hand dyed by me with kool-aid and food coloring
Needles: Clover bamboo dpns US size 4
Pattern: Fetching Mitts from knitty
Started: February 24, 2007
Completed: February 28, 2007
Notes: I had these done by Monday, but I wove in the ends on the 28th. Good thing I made a gauge swatch, because I think the pattern calls for a size 6 needle! Must have been from using different yarn than the pattern calls for. Super quick, fun knit. I like these ones a lot. I'll probably wear them for St. Patrick's Day, with the matching hat, and then let LD have them. She loves them!

Green Hat Knit-Along

The Stats:

Yarn: Less than 223 yards of Tan Paton's Classic Merino Wool Handyed by me with Kool-Aid
Needles: KnitPicks Options Size 7 and 5

Pattern: Topi from knitty.com

Started: February 1, 2007

Completed: February 4, 2007

Notes: I loved this pattern, even though I don't like w&t that much. I think if I knew how w&t worked, it wouldn't be so weird to me. I should have made the medium, as its a little big. I always seem to think my head is bigger than it really is. I made this for the Get Stitchy Green Hat Knit-Along. I'm going to wear it to a St. Patrick's Day Party in March! Fun!
