This blog shows my ongoing enjoyment of fibre arts (spinning, weaving, crochet, learning to knit, felting, etc) and may also contain some other of my crafts/skills in other areas.
About Me

- I am 'critter crazy' and currently share my home with 1 cat, 1 rabbit, 4 chinchillas, 1 Indian Ringneck Parrot, 2 Pacific Parrotlets, 5 Cockatiels. (No, sorry, no partridge and no pear tree).

These are just beautiful! I am making some knitted,felted clog slippers but I like yours way better! How do you make them?
Lisa, thanks for the wonderful comment. I've seen pictures of the knitted, felted clog slippers and they look great too. These are easy to do if you crochet.
