My mom always told me the equivalent of "don't start nuthin -- won't be nuthin!" Not in those exact words but you get what I mean ... I have always found your videos to be easy to understand and very helpful even if I chose to use another method. I know this was from two years ago but I have to tell you I must speak out on your behalf as well as others ... We, as a nation, have let others dictate what we will put up with and if I knew who anonymous was, I'd have to let them have a good tongue lashing for you! Why do we have such haters when you were just trying to help? Sorry for the ranting but it just makes me angry and I felt the need to vent for "the cause"! I hope you have thick skin for all the rude people out there but when you get tired of it, please let me know and I will be glad to reply for you!!

They helped me immensely and the pictures you provided were also great. It was like a light bulb that I desperately needed. The patterns everyone else finds soooo easy, I generally have trouble with. I can't understand why, but I guess we all "knitspeak" in different languages. I especially liked your idea to knit the soles all at one time.

I prefer to knit all four soles before starting the tops, too. Joining the soles before the tops sounds good to me. We love these clogs and I am now trying the new "narrow foot" version for the first time.KnittersArknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056407662542572067.post-29960591841595784002011-11-22T15:43:22.945-06:002011-11-22T15:43:22.945-06:00I'm going to try your method - contrary to &qu...I'm going to try your method - contrary to "anonymous self-taught knitter" above, I did not find the pattern as written "simple and straight-forward". I will welcome another option since I really did struggle putting these together. My first pair turned out alright, but I am hoping to improve the second pair dramatically, as I'd like to give them as a gift. thanks for taking the time to explain this alternative method.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056407662542572067.post-82218922139194612862011-10-30T11:02:53.853-05:002011-10-30T11:02:53.853-05:00Thanks for posting this--wish I'd found it soo...Thanks for posting this--wish I'd found it sooner. I'm now "searching" for 97 black inner sole stitches to attach them to the outer sole. UGH! I'll definitely use your method for the second one.

I prefer to knit sweaters in the round. Why? I hate seams and avoid them where I can, but many people find it confusing and unnecessary because they don't knit that way.<br /><br />I love the clogs. The slippers are lovely and comfortable.Severinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233387767990711188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056407662542572067.post-40648507761286821352011-10-06T04:04:40.671-05:002011-10-06T04:04:40.671-05:00I'm a self-taught knitter and clogs were the 2...I'm a self-taught knitter and clogs were the 2nd thing I knit. <br /><br />The pattern as written is simple and straight-forward. Thousands of pairs have been knit using it.<br /><br />It's hilarious that you think you can improve on Bev's pattern. Your method is confusing, wasteful, and totally unnecessary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
