Felted clogs this time (but still feet)

I had great plans for the weekend. Nothing on the agenda, a weekend where I could knit to my heart's content. 

I made a list on Saturday
Knit felted clogs for me
Finish STR socks (second leg)
Knit the ww cardigan second sleeve, second front, collar and sew it up.

Yes, yes, have a laugh!  I forgot about the weekend shopping, cooking and slobbing around.

I did manage to finish the second sleeve on the ww cardigan (no photo) and knit the felted clogs:

This is anonymous wool from the very first Eltham sale that I went to, years ago.  That's why it's camel with red trimmings. As they're for me I'm wasn't that bothered about the colour.  (But I had a happy surprise, later!)

I've also been giving thought to my sockapalooozer socks.  I think that I'm going with Lorna's laces, Irving Park.

I've started Heartstring's Eyelet ankle-ribbed socks, but the jury's still out until I've knitted a few more inches.  I quite like the Country Girl Socks as well, and whilst looking at her site, I quite fancy the Toe-to-cuff lace socks!

Back to the felted clogs.  They need another run through the washing maching, but this is how they turned out after a maximum temperature wash, and I'm happier with them.

Pink and red felted clogs!  Cor, I ought to have signed up for Project Spectrum!

How astonishing! They look much better in the second colourway. I suppose the heat will have fixed it, and they won't bleach back to dreary camel. I'm not a camel wool enthusiast!

Now that was a pretty spectacular colour change, that red was obviously pretty powerful. That's the sort that normally ends up in my washing machine along with Neil's work shirts.....

That must have been a surprise when you opened the machine! Even if you didn't get everything on the list done, it still sounds like a pretty productive weekend to me.

Now that's the kind of mixed wash accident I could live with! I like them very much. I know what you mean about making lists - I do it all the time and complete forget about all the regular stuff that has to be done, washing, cooking, cleaning.....

Still, a girl can daydream!

Yes, maybe you should have signed up for Project Spectrum!... It turned out great...
