I hand wash mine in warm water with homemade laundry soap (I think any gentle liquid laundry soap would work) and lay them out on a towel to dry. I have seen the felted socks before. I learned the hard way to make my two grown sons socks only out of washable wool blends or acrylic...that way no baby booties by accident.
I have always wanted some of those sock blockers..they look cool and would sure be handy. I am just too chicken to wash them in the machine after all that work.

Geez, I would love to have a pattern for a felted scuff/mule slipper. I've been searching all over for one. Would you be so kind as to e-mail me the pattern?
I work at an arts and crafts store and I teach knitting and crocheting there. We just recently started stocking wool yarn, so am anxious to have a felting class for some of my students. Any help would be VERY welcome.

Have any of you knitted with a red heart yarn called babyteri?? It is so neat! I got some awhile back and when I needed to knit a baby sweater for a niece who is expecting soon and knows it is a girl I got out the free pattern that was being given away at the store I bought it at and a skein of pink and one of white (I have another white and a blue for another baby) and I have a sweater about 2/3 done. It is so much like chenille when knitted! I LOVE it! For a fun texture and a good price it is fun to work with!! I think I may actually finish it before the baby is born..a plus!!

There's a Fiber Trends pattern for knitted and felted clogs. I think you can find it if you do a search. I'll try.

Can't wait till I am good enough to knit all these fancy things. I'm still at the very beginner stage. You girls keep me motivated.

Daisy,
Gloves! I am impressed. I've never tried gloves. I do love to knit socks though. They are really my favorite. Right now I'm working on an Aran sweater with an online group. It's a Follow the Leader Knit-Along learning to design and fit a top-down Aran knit to fit yourself. Definitely a learning experience.

| Wow! Now see I'm impressed with people who can knit sweaters! All I've knitted are hats, scarves, socks, felted bags, and now gloves. I just can't seem to make the sweater leap! Maybe one day! |

| Thanks all for looking for me, I just can't wait to get started. I talked to some of my students yesterday and today and they are so excited about trying some felting projects. I've got quite a library of knitted and crocheted patterns, so if anyone is looking for something in particular, I might be able to find it for them. |

Just went to my first knitting class at the local quilt store. A sock class! What fun!! It's taught by a guy named Steve who really knows his stuff and we're making socks with self-striping yarn. I love that stuff. I'm gonna make a baby hat out of it. I think it'll look cool.
Farmgirl hug,
Patricia
Happy Wishes! |

| That striping sock yarn is really nice, isn't it? I've even used it for sweaters and scarves. Daisy, making a sweater isn't that difficult. Try a raglan sleeve sweater first. They're fun to make and really pretty. If you're interested in a pattern for a child's sweater, I have a really old pattern that works up beautifully. You can use either sport weight or worsted weight yarn. It gives you the measurements and number of ounces for both! Have a good day everyone! |
