This video is the perfect place to make an old friend. I see this being my stress go to project, with an end product everyone will love. Great guide. I’m going to enjoy the journey.
Started my clog watching the video, I love using wool, my hands are happy...can’t wait for some feet to be happy too. Honestly do not be afraid to try working with natural fibers, unless you are allergic to them, you are in for a treat. Nice start to this KAL thank you!
I wasn’t going to do this, but hubby saw the pattern and asked if I could make him a pair. So I ran to JoAnns and bought enough to make two pairs in opposite colors. Sat down after an early supper to get started and discovered that the yarn was not 100% wool. Ran back to the store...it was closed. Went to Freddie’s...they don’t carry yarn any more. Went to Wal-Mart...they only had acrylic. So I bought me some pajamas. Will stop at Joanns after work tomorrow. Darn you Jana!
Excellent tutorial ... wonderful job clearly showing the stitches and how they are worked. I made this pattern a few years ago but need to get back on the horse and make a pair for a Christmas gift and to also replace the ones I wore out (you are a great inspiration!) I wear them all the time and although they have been darned a few times it's time to treat myself to a new pair for this winter. Happy to have found you and looking forward to following along with this series and the other projects you've done.
Thank you, Jana. I found your channel last week when I was looking for sock cast-on tutorials. Your tutorials are very clear and thorough, so I am happy to support your Patreon. Facebook and Ravelry do not meet my personal ethical standards, so I won't be joining your groups on either website, but I believe your tutorial videos will be enough for me to understand. Thanks for the yarn recommendations! Yarn for my 1st pair arrives next week!
@x Since Ravelry changed their website design earlier this year, many people have been experiencing eye strain, all day migraines & even seizures after a few minutes on the site. Instead of apologizing to the affected users and designers, or calling in web designers that specialize in accessibility, the Ravelry team has instead been gaslighting anyone who has been harmed and continues to actively silence anyone who tries to speak out about accessibility on their platform. Emails to the team go unanswered. A survey about accessibility could not be taken by people affected because it also induced migraines & seizures. On other platforms, the Ravelry team has vilified an affected designer they had previously promoted. They cited blog posts by a psychologist claiming that people were experiencing "mass hysteria" but never considered the opinions of the medical professionals examining the people who were sent to ERs when NuRav was first rolled out. Many fiber artists and designers who relied on Ravelry to market and sell their products have been cut off from their main income stream -- in the middle of the pandemic. It has been almost 6 months. It is clear that the Ravelry team does not care. The behavior of the Ravelry team regarding this issue is sociopathic, and I refuse to support any company that lacks a conscience.
@x I have been getting most of my updates from affected users on Instagram. If you would like to know more, I recommend searching the #RavelryAccessibilty hashtag.
Jana-- I've tried several times to join your patreon group but when it comes to the payment, I like to use PayPal, something always goes wrong. You might want to make sure I'm not the only one with this problem. I don't give out credit card information online. That's why I use PayPal. I'd love to support you. I appreciate your teaching style. You are very clear and concise and I've learned quite a bit about knitting from you. Thanks for all that you do.
Thanks Cindy! I'm glad you enjoy the videos. You might find this article from Patreon helpful to explain why PayPal might not be working for you. support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001917686-Do-I-need-to-add-a-credit-card-for-PayPal-
Hi Jana! I am so excited to get started on this KAL! All of my materials are ready, but I have a question, please help: I'm wanting to make size 11.5 - 12 men's slippers - should I use the size 11 directions and felt them less, or the size 13 instructions and felt more? My pre-felted gauge on size 15 needles is about 11 sts/4 in I am very much a newbie and thank you so much in advance for your help with this! -Jazmin
Jana, you gotta lotta sole! Sorry, you probably have heard that one before. Looking forward to getting started and great tutorial. How are the tomatoes, BTW? No need to answer, I know you are busy!!! LOL Fern
So far they're fine. We're supposed to have temps in the 90s tomorrow and Sunday, then a low in the upper 20s overnight into Monday morning with 5-8" snow forecast. I kid you not! We'll be picking everything!
Jana, question for you (actually, a couple). In the instructions, it says not to use anything except the m1 for increases. I did what you did, and did kfb. I've done this on 4 pairs of clogs so far, and the only time I've had a problem with it was on the one pair that I did the bumper on. The bumper came out really squirrelly. Which increase using a stitch is going to mess with your stitch count? I just don't see how that's possible. An increase any way I think about it is going to add one stitch. I don't know of an increase that adds more than one stitch (not that I know everything), nor an increase that doesn't increase (why call it an increase if you don't gain?). Which increase have you done on the bumper? I haven't been doing any more bumpers after that one came out junky. I'm kind of dyslexic, and m1L and m1R drive me nuts. Kfb is faster and easier. I don't have a problem with the lifted m1 increases though. I'm not sure if kfb is a good idea on the bumper, but that might just be me. Any opinion?
I use the lifted increases. The only time I used the kfb is on the very first row of the sole, when there isn't anything to lift, since you're on row 1. Hope that makes sense.
@@PurlTogether Yes, thanks. I've been using kfb throughout, seems to work fine, until you get to the bumper. Then it just makes things goofy. But my question about which increase will mess up your stitch count?
I don't sell the pattern. The link in the video description goes to the Fiber Trends website where they do take both credit cards and PayPal. www.fibertrends.com/p/ac33e-felt-clogs-pdf-download
Oh man...off to a rough start. First time trying CO with double strand using same color. Does anyone have a link to a video? Most of what I’ve found uses two different colors 🙁. Thanks.
Purl Together I’m holding one double and one single. So the bottom of needle has a thicker, double strand and the top is single. Looks different than yours. Maybe I can find the center of the skein to keep two together or use two skeins at once since I bought two for the sole
Purl Together LOL. Not enough coffee? I have Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride. Just feels weird using two at once. I’ll keep trying using two skeins. There’s a “problem child” in every group 🙄. Yep...that way worked! Sorry to bother your Sunday. Good luck 🍀 with those tomatoes 🍅!
Thanks I'm making salsa today! I've had lots of coffee, I just wasn't visualizing what you were saying since do the long tail cast on differently than most people. Glad you're on your way now.
If you want a hard copy, you'll have to get it from the Fiber Trends website if NPJ is sold out. Alternatively you can use my code and purchase the download, then print it yourself. Thanks for asking.
This video is the perfect place to make an old friend. I see this being my stress go to project, with an end product everyone will love. Great guide. I’m going to enjoy the journey.
I absolutely love you and your videos. You are so inspiring. I'm going to try this one ... wish me luck!
Thanks Jana. Good luck with the weather and ALL of your tomatoes 🍅 we’ve had one frost warning so far in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦

I've had this pattern for years, I love these slippers! It's going to be fun to make some with you

Thanks very much! Got the foundation row done for slippers for my husband, and was a bit confused.

Hey there! I have checked several times today, so excited!
Me too!
Thanks for your patience! It's been a challenging week on the farm
Great video thank you
Thanks Jana!
I have a bunch of wool that would felt. I need to try this!
This is gonna be so much fun!
I have Paton Classic Wool Roving, a 5 weight. Hope using this single stranded will work.Thank you for doing this.
I'm waiting along with you for the answer to your question
Should be fine. If you search the projects for that yarn (roving) on Ravelry, you'll see its been used many times for this pattern.
Hello! God bless you! I am so excited! Thank you so very much! I need help!
My yarn is due to arrive on Tuesday 🤗🤗

I answered you in the Ravelry group as well. You'll want to knit the larger size and felt them down to fit.
@@PurlTogether Thank you so much!

Can someone please post the cast on row please, my pattern has worn out at this point!
If you need help with the long tail cast on, check out this video.
th-cam.com/video/ZlC24xDdEfg/w-d-xo.html
If you knit with bulky yarn do you still double it?
No, I wouldn't. But then again, you should check your gauge with the suggested gauge on the pattern.
What does KAL stand for?
Knit Along
Where can i get the pattern please?
The link is in the video description.
Jana were can we get the pattern if not available from needlepointjoint.
It's available in a downloadable pdf from NPJ
needlepointjoint.com/products/fiber-trends-felt-clogs-ac-33
Would love to purchase the pattern, but you don’t accept paypal only credit card.
I don't sell the pattern. The link in the video description goes to the Fiber Trends website where they do take both credit cards and PayPal.

When do I knit second sole for first slipper if I only have 1 size 13 needle?
We'll knit the second sole after you finish the upper part of the foot and the cuff.
Just to be sure, for men’s you knit a row, before starting the actual row 1?
Yes, unless they have a narrow foot
@@lynnkillion3681 Just use the one you have. It'll work just fine.
Oh man...off to a rough start. First time trying CO with double strand using same color. Does anyone have a link to a video? Most of what I’ve found uses two different colors 🙁. Thanks.
Just hold them together and cast on like you normally would. What's happening when you try? What problem are you noticing?
Purl Together I’m holding one double and one single. So the bottom of needle has a thicker, double strand and the top is single. Looks different than yours. Maybe I can find the center of the skein to keep two together or use two skeins at once since I bought two for the sole
@@Tinacrafts2 Now I'm wondering what yarn you're using and why you're holding 3 strands rather than two?
Purl Together LOL. Not enough coffee? I have Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride. Just feels weird using two at once. I’ll keep trying using two skeins. There’s a “problem child” in every group 🙄. Yep...that way worked! Sorry to bother your Sunday. Good luck 🍀 with those tomatoes 🍅!

Pattern sold out? How does a digital pattern sell out?
The website is fixed!

Hey Jana,
The pattern is sold out so where can I purchase the pattern and still use your code ?
If you want a hard copy, you'll have to get it from the Fiber Trends website if NPJ is sold out. Alternatively you can use my code and purchase the download, then print it yourself. Thanks for asking.
