i made Boo
sweaters out of 75% merino/25% acrylic yarn until he was
2. now he gets wool sweaters because he's not a messy
child (most of the time)

So how do you wash them now? Machine washable I assume? I
don't like the feel of machine washable knitting wool.

actually, i haven't washed them yet... i picked some leaves
off. he wears them to/from school. usually takes them off if
he's running around on the playground or outside at home. i
can't keep a jacket or sweater on him until it gets down to
about freezing. he just complains he's too hot. so they don't
get very dirty.
i will have to handwash these though, since they're wool & my
washer is a top loader. does a great job felting.
the wool/acrylic machine washes (cold, gentle cycle), but i
don't ever put them in the dryer. i'm afraid the acrylic
component would get "crunchy".

i also like putting designs on
the heels, but i'm weird ;)

Not weird at all. I love all the zany sock patterns. Are
your clogs Crocs?

no, Crocs are quite the thing here, but mine are some off-
brand type. much less expensive than Crocs, if not so "cool"
<g>. they're orange. look like duck feet.
