7/11//10 I LOVE this pattern (and love that it’s now available professionally printed!) and Max has been waiting for his clogs since I started these a couple of years ago. I pulled them back out, frogged the first clog and started them again.

The updated pattern has one less row in the sole (unless you want extra wide slippers) and they seem like they’ll be too narrow, but I’m going to keep moving forward and trust they’ll fit fine.

I finished knitting the first clog tonight, except for seaming up the soles (I need to get to bed!) and am reminded how much I loved knitting these up when I made my own pair for the Men Who Knit clog-along. It’s a brilliant pattern; complex enough that you have to pay attention, but entertaining to knit and fun to watch your slippers take shape. Can’t recommend it enough.

7/17/10 Knitting complete. Just need to sew up the soles and they’ll be ready to felt!

7/18/10 Finished! I had to felt them in the coin operated washer at my apartment bldg…not the best choice. It cost me $5 just to shrink them down! I ended up running them through the wash cycle twice and they were just right. Max loves them…he doesn’t even mind wearing them damp so they shape to his feet.

Now I want to knit a new pair for myself.
