Thursday I received an unexpected and quite welcomed e-mail from my one of my nieces' asking me if I could whip up a pair of baby booties for an expecting friend of hers. Hmm, sure, I thought. So I started flipping thru my way too large library of knitting books looking for a pattern I'd like to use. Well, I thought I found the perfect one on Friday and I started in on bootie #1. Well, after ripping it apart not once, but twice, as I didn't like the way it was turning out, the way I was knitting, oh I don't know I just thought it was ugly. So early Saturday morning, I went thru my 3-ring binder of patterns from knitting class's I've taken over the years and I found the pattern that I thought I could 'whip' up. So by Saturday evening I have these to send her. I'm happy with the results, well as happy as a knitter ever is, as I can see flaws where no one else can, or no one else would dare point out!
They're adorable! And handknit booties always make an expecting mother so happy.
