Fiber Trends Felted Clogs. Just like the Harlot said, you never get sick of these clogs.
My felting method is pretty unorthodox – I just throw the item in the washer with my regular dark colored laundry, wash on warm for a regular cycle, and throw in the dryer. I use the industrial machines at the laundromat, so I don’t worry about fuzzies clogging the machines, nor do I check the progress of the felted item during the wash process. In fact, the washers are front loading and you can’t even open them mid-cycle. It seems to work just fine. They never quite dry fully. Thus blocking, whereupon I stick my feet into the warm moist clogs and wear them around the apartment, is the least fun aspect of the whole process.

those look like some mighty comfy clogs! perfect for cold winter floors.
Ew, the wet-clogs-on-feet method of blocking doesn't sounds like fun. However, the result looks worth it. Cosy, comfy clogs for those cold winter nights, mmmmm.....

someday i will get over my fear of felting and embrace your method, because that's the way I'd have to do it to make it at all cost-effective! (I'm not devoting $2 to a whole load for just one item, and the not checking on it would worry me, but really, clearly, I shouldn't worry!) Nice job.
I got the clog pattern and want to make hubby and I both a pair. Glad to see that others have had success. After I finish one more pair of socks, I will do the clogs. I can't to see if mine look as good as yours.
they look so cool. I just got the pattern, just need to find the yarn in the stash...
Hmm, I like the sound of your method--maybe I would actually try felting, if that's all there is to it! ;)
Mmm, clammy feet. But soon to be toasty! What you really need is a fire to park your damp dogs in front of...though the smell might be damp doggish as well!
Looking good. I like the colors you chose. Since they do take awhile to dry, P-funk was doing that wet blocking on feet method with his b/c he was so impatient to wear his.
