So the criteria is usefulness? I may have to jump on your felted clog bandwagon - both DH and I wear ours every day too. I even made him two pairs, so when his toasty little feet start to make the first pair a bit damp, he gives them a break with the second pair. I think I’ve made somewhere around nine pairs - Cascade 220 is perfect for them.

And the blue bottoms make tremendous success - but I love the bodacious orange top on yours - easy to find for sure.

Oh, definitely Annie Modesitt’s Sideways Spencer, from an IK issue a few years ago. So chic, so comfy, and still looks good after three years or so of wear and despite the fact that I made it in Wool-Ease (the early days, before I became a yarn snob). I sometimes think of reknitting it in something fabulous.

My best ever . . . what a good question. I think it was the fisherman cardigan I made from a natural gray tweedy wool and put handmade pewter buttons on. Of course, the next year it started making me break out in hives, so I ended up giving it away. But it was oversized, as warm as a coat, and intricate knitting. If I could reproduce it with a non-wool yarn, I’d be happy indeed. Can’t wait to see Frances!

I love those clogs and their bright-ness! Perfect for a dark winter evening/morning, comfy & cheerful. And how great to get so much wear out of your handknit. I always see them and want to make some, but never get around to it - maybe this winter

What a great post! I think I’ll do mine too

This is so great! I have made three pairs of clogs (for myself!) as I wear through them so fast. It’s always good to have pair ready for when they wear out, because they take a while to dry!

Thanks for sharing your best ever!
