baby in boots

   Change in plans! The red tank has temporally been abandoned and in its place of it on my must knits list were these adorable baby botties from my first every knitting book of patterns and instructions, “I can’t believe I’m Knitting”. I knitted these in a hurried frenzy, but I’m really terrible pleased with how the little boots in blue turned out. I used left over Wool Ease from a hat I knitted quite a time back, and all knitting was done on size 4 needles so the gauge is nice and tight, leaves not plossible chance of baby toes sticking out of losely knitted faberic. And I’m really excited I finished them before the recipiant was born, which is a first for me, a slow and perfectionist-ic knitter. Henery is the lucky baby who’s toes won’t be warmed in these for the first couple of months becuase they turned out a little larger than I expected, oh well the joys of hand made articals. The pink baby sweater still has me in a tight spot, she’s due really soon and I’m still no farther that I was two weeks ago, so a pint sized hat might be in order for a quick gift.  For now I don’t have a current project that I’m avidly knitting on because I’ve been helping my mom out and sewing up some goat coats for prizes at a 4-H show coming in August. Although I need to start something soon I’m getting “homesick” for knitting.
