Baby Steps ~ Take 2

The Stats:

Yarn: Moda Dea Sassy Stripes, color: Crush. It is acrylic, but I think it makes great booties and hats.
Needles: size 2 bamboo dpns
Pattern: Christine's Baby Booties, free online
Started: May 27? Maybe. I have to start writing these things down!!
Completed: May 29, 2007 including the weaving of ends and the icord ties.
Notes: I love this pattern and the adorable booties that you end up with in such little time. I have heard that they stay on little baby feet really well, but I haven't stuck them on a baby to see, yet. I made these for a friend's tiny little girl.

The Stats:

Yarn: Bernat Sox Yarn. I think it is the Crazy Hot color, and a turquoise color for the bottoms. It is acrylic, but pretty soft.
Needles: size 2 bamboo dpns
Pattern: Christine's Baby Booties, free online
Started: May 26 (?)
Completed: May 27, (I think!) for the knitting ~ May 29 for the icord ties, and the weaving of the ends.
Notes: These are for a girl I graduated high school with. (Girl?) Hehe. She's having her first baby in November. How sweet and exciting, huh? There are more pics of these booties on my other blog.

Planned Purlhood Dishcloths

Pattern: free knitting pattern Planned Purlhood Dishcloth
Started: May 3, 2007

This pattern is so quick and easy. I love how each cloth turns out completely different, just based on what color you choose to do the reverse stitch with. I want to knit more of them, and I probably will! :)
