mocs that rock
After four years of wear, Scott's felted clog slippers are worn through, so this time I made him a pair of felted moccasins.
You saw them in pre-felted stage here. After a couple of cycles through the washer in hot water, I stitched on some suede soles to make them less slippery, threaded shoelaces through the appropriate places for snugging up the back end, and...ta da!

Another excellent pattern that works up quickly,
with great results.
You see those nicely stitched on soles? Those and half a sock foot are the grand total of my progress on projects in the past week. :::sigh::: And now, since the guys are at a rocketry conference (where Jesse won a $50 gift cert and they're hooking up with a bunch of friends for a party this evening!) and Leah has a friend here for a sleepover, I'm going to spend the evening getting reacquainted with a certain green sweater that's calling my name.

Enjoy your night Deb. It's the perfect night for knitting and movies. Good luck with the sweater.

Those are great moccasins! I really like them. My dad can't wear the felted clogs because he just can't seem to walk in them. I'm thinking that moccasins might work though... Thanks for a great idea!
Nice! They look store bought!
I was thinking of you - we saw a fellow rocket launcher at Mansfield Hollow State Park on Wednesday.
