Ok so maybe not the most exciting project to share. And certainly not one of my favourite to knit. But I've got to say that I love, love, love wearing felted slippers. I hope my Dad enjoys them too. (Although maybe not too much otherwise he may be a 'repeat customer' next year).
And on that topic, one die hard fan is my husband. Last year I made him some in Miami Dolphins colours. He pulled them out again the other day and let's just say they've seen better days.

So I rummaged through the stash to find whatever odds and ends I could use to make a new pair (without breaking my yarn diet). I did find some of the leftovers from last year and added to this some other stash yarn to this to make it go a little further. The end result: a hideous pair of clown clogs! Here they are pre-felting:
But you know what he loves them. And since he's a happy camper, that's all that counts!

Wow, he is a die hard! I like the new ones and the completed ones you knit for your Dad! :)
I like the ones for your dad. They match his socks don't they??
Great felted clogs!
I love the Harley socks, too! I'm glad the "scissor surgery" worked out :D
Way to make the men in your life happy with those comfy slippers!
