cold and tomorrow philly

wind chills -17 overnight
no wonder my toes are always cold,

and the felted clogs are more then welcome....those things are blessings
if you are cold, trust me, get the fiber trend felted clog or alpine boot slipper pattern
get some of that dip it stuff
some feltable wool yarn and some size 15 circular needles.......and knit you a pair....then felt it

knit you several pairs.......
once they are done, felted and dry, your feet will thank you, thank me, thank the universe and thank the academy.............

now onto the winter boot experiment...
i got one 90% knitted....it should felt down to my size foot and go up to my knees!
if this works the next pair will have a tongue knitted in and some grommets for laces...
i could get into this if this works well
and just think
WARM feets outside
i am using brown sheep lamb's pride
it also is moth proof which means a bit of insecticide......after seeing what wool moths did to my felted clogs......i prefer the moth proofing
it also has mohair in it
talk about warm
now if these experiments work, i will also make a boot that is got mohair, wool (preferable something like cheviot or a russian breed) and something like alpaca mixed in to give me a really really WARM boot
i'll store them in the freezer during off season.....just one -degree temp day and they will pay for themselves no?

ok that is that more or less on the boot experiments
tomorrow is philly which means..................... WAITING ROOM KNITTING
what shall i knit...lace?
i am waiting for new sock needles having lost/broken mine
although i do need more socks.....and i am going to get the lamb's pride for them too i think
mittens?
a new hat?
i could use a new hat too, that means i would have to do the latvian braid here... as it is too much for a waiting room or the van
but i could do the corrugated ribbing there and maybe some of the crown?
i may end up with a cowl on the needles or even a triangle scarf.......
gaenor is a good possiblity
ok off i got to add wood to the fire
be warm everyone
