Jamie’s having two showers so I made two sets of booties. These are both from Precious Baby Booties which has patterns that look good, use sport weight yarn, and work up quickly. This is my favorite bootie book.

Doggie booties
These are for the granddaughter of a co-worker and are from a little booklet I got somewhere. The booklet must have been written for a UK audience originally because the first time I tried to make a pair of booties from it they came out ginormous. It took a while to figure out that TC… Read more »
Hat and scarf for Steve
Here’s my baby in the hat and scarf I made for him. He’s very proud of the hat and wears it everywhere, but he says the scarf is too short. I told him if it were any longer it’d brush his knees when he unwraps it.
Ballet slippers for Kiana
Kiana’s brother got basketball shoes for baby booties so her parents wanted ballet slippers to continue the theme. This was a basic pattern from Precious Baby Booties with some extra ribbons sewn on and some tissue stuffed in the toe.
Baby Sleeper

Baby booties
These are for my third nephew, yet to be born (or named).
Cape/Shawl for Rosemary

Their model was made with Moda Dea Zing but I thought the Dream yarn would suit my step-mother better. The pattern… Read more »
More Headwear for the Family Hats
Here’s a cute hat for a little boy, in shades of blue and green. Bright and fun! Wish I were better at making pom poms. I can never get them completely round. But then I try to remember that no one besides me is staring at it so hard. This is a hood with a… Read more »
Beaded hat
There are supposed to be 3D clowns on the ears. I made all the pieces and assembled one clown and it was hideous. I don’t assemble things very well but the main trouble was that I didn’t have all the required colors and kept substituting. Like I was using baby yellow and pink instead of… Read more »
