My featured Merit Badge Awardee of the Week is … Jennifer Prior!!!
Jennifer Prior (#5297) has received a certificate of achievement in Stitching & Crafting for earning an Intermediate Level Knitting Merit Badge!
“Okay, so I have already become an addict. My friend taught me how to make clog slippers that are felted. At one point, I was knitting with three needles at one time! The slippers were huge when finished, but after felting, they fit like a dream. I actually met with a few friends to work on these. We knit together on three different nights for several hours.
This project was such fun, I made another pair in a different color. Now my mom wants me to make a pair for her. I’ve attached photos. They are so cute; they look like little teddy-bear feet. I am so crazy about knitting now and have since made numerous dishcloths in varying patterns. Wow, knitted dishcloths work so much better than sponges and I even use one for washing my face now.”
Jennifer, your felted slippers are the cutest! I tried my hand at making a simpler pattern just to learn the felting process, but I like your pattern way better. Congratulations on such a successful launch to your knitting hobby. I too, started knitting with the MJF badge and over the past few years, I have gained more skills. Don’t you love how doing a badge is just the motivation you need to get started?? These slippers would be perfect for anyone on your gift list for next Christmas!
