Oh, what a process it was to finish the booties. I won't totally get into it but let's just say I finished the first bootie a long time ago. When I went to finish the second one, I couldn't remember what size needles I used. Good thing I had it on my Ravelry project page, right? NO! Wrong size needle on there. I also wrote two needle sizes on the pattern - one saying "3 to 6 mo." and the other "bigger size". I must have made the 3 to 6 month size, made sense. NO! Ok, must be the "bigger size" - yeah...NO. Let's just say I now have 3 booties without a pair in all different sizes and I learned my lesson about being sure I update my project info once I start it! Good thing I had a vague memory of knitting the first one on grey needles...
Anyways, it was worth it. These were a quick knit and are SO cute! The pattern is
Saartje's Bootees on Ravelry. The yarn is Rowan RYC Cashcotton 4-Ply which is a great yarn for this project - nice and soft and easy to work with.
Sophie is about 3 weeks old and they fit her perfectly - they won't fit for long though!
I've shown most of what I included in the baby shower gift for little Sophie in my previous posts but here's a pic of the finished lot! Two
slouch hats, Spud & Chloe's Buga Baby Bunting, the booties, the
Elefante, and then I whipped up a minky blanket with tags on two ends. I really had fun making it all!
They look so cute on her feet! What a nice gift!
ReplyDeleteThat bootie pattern is one of my favorites. I made up a pair with some self striping sock yarn and they turned out waaaay cool looking.
ReplyDeleteThey fit perfect! How adorable. I love everything you included in the gift!

ReplyDeleteThose booties are adorable! I wish I had learned to knit while my kids were little enough to wear the sweet little baby clothes :-)
