Bootie and Bonnet Set

The Stats:
Yarn: TLC Baby, Acrylic and Nylon, soft, color White Sparkle (but it looks like baby blue to me)

Needles: size 2 bamboo dpns for the booties, and size 3 bamboo circular for the hat
Patterns: Christine's Baby Booties, free pattern here, Hello Yarn's top down bonnet
Started and Completed: June 2007

Notes: I love these patterns. I didn't put the ears or anime face on the bonnet, just left it as a simple quick gift for whatever baby comes along next. Super quick and cute! There is another picture of the set on my creepy baby doll, here. LOL

Baby Steps

The Stats:

Yarn: Bernat Sox Yarn. I think it is the Crazy Hot color. It is acrylic, but pretty soft.
Needles: size 2 bamboo dpns
Pattern: Christine's Baby Booties, free online
Started: May 16, 2007
Completed: May 16, for the knitting ~ May 19 for the icord ties, and the weaving of the ends.
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.
