<\/a>Finally finished a project. But really, I had to, before the baby grew too big! Here’s another view to show the sole<\/a>, done in seed stich.<\/p>\n

The pattern is a combination of two bootie patterns from “50 Baby Bootees to Knit.”<\/a> Buying the book may have been overkill, but enough people are having kids now that I’ve gotta be prepared! The yarn is Lana Gatto “Feeling” which is 70% wool, 20% silk, 10% cashmere. I got it on sale at Angel Hair Yarn<\/a> in Nashville on the way home from Simucon this year, and it is soooooo soft! Perfect for any kind of baby wear, but way too expensive unless it was half off – which this was! Woo, I win!<\/p>\n

What did I learn from this project? I learned more about the ‘feel’ of fair isle knitting, which is how the hearts were created. Next time I think I’ll be able to make it more elastic. I also learned that I really like working with little needles (size 2, 2.75mm), so I’m really ready for the next person who wants a baby project. Fortunately, a friend here in town is 6 months gone, and I’ve got a lot of this yarn left.<\/p>\n

Here’s hoping the recipient of the booties likes them. I know I enjoyed making them, and thinking about this wonderful person!
