Random Wooly Thoughts

Oh how the creative have fallen. Not that I have set high standards for myself here, but nonetheless, I have sunk to a new low.

Utterly distracted from York (I finished the back before that happened, at least) by the rather foreign feeling of COLD FLOORS (our last apartment was a hot box year-round) I went on an epic search for that famous felted clogs pattern by Fiber Trends. I looked high and low, and even went to the biggest yarn store in Toronto (not so hard now) and rifled through their collection of FT patterns (they have at least 100). No dice. So I went with FuzzyFeet, a knitty pattern. Don't get me wrong, its a nice pattern, and suits my purposes well, but I really like the shaping of the clogs as opposed to the sock shape. AH well.

Cast on Tuesday night, watching the Fantastic Four with Gen and Corrina. Terrible movie, good for knitting.

Here is monster slipper #1, ready to be grafted (I was ready to graft it last night, but I luckily decided to wait for the sober light of day as opposed to the rosy glow of a nice zinfandel)


Socks... for Phlox!!

Sock #2 post-grafting...

My cats are so freakin' patient it is unnatural!

And just so you can see just how BIG these slippers are...



Before you call the SPCA, please consider that this last picture was taken directly after I removed the sock from Molly's head. Note that the cats have fallen back to sleep in the time it took me to pose the socks. Phlox makes an excellent end table.

Tonight... felting! I even washed dishes to free up the sink!
