I started these cute little booties with my left-over sock yarn for fun, and then when Audrey told us she was expecting, I knew just who they were going to! So this is part of my Pay It Forward to Audrey, who was one of my first three commenters; I also made her a book bag with the sock monkeys. Afterall, it's back to school time, and who couldn't use another book bag. These booties are so cute and easy. I could have finished them in one night, but I needed a crochet hook to make the button loops, and it took me a few weeks to find it on my craft table! The buttons are vintage, from my dear grandmother's tin of saved buttons. I'll definitely make more of these!
I haven't posted a lot of knitting on here in the last few years. Not much to say about it but I still knit. I knit because I love to create. I knit because I love sweaters. I knit because I grew up with a mom who is artistic beyond the acknowledgement she receives, and it's in my blood to do something creative. I knit because I love the good things God grows, like sheep and wool and muskox and cotton. I knit because I love colors. I knit because my boys wear what I knit. I knit because I like the rhythm. I knit because it has a beginning and an end, and they are achievable. I knit because when my hands are busy, my mouth slows down, and it gives my brain a chance to make better decisions. I knit because I'm really, really good at it, and it's one of the few things that others acknowledge, and we all need that. I knit because I love to knit. I'm working on a colorful shawl in alpaca.
OMG! I love these! I had instructions for booties like this years ago but never had the knit or crochet skills to do them. They are soooo cute! Maybe I should try again.
