Starting to Finish


You'll recognize both this pattern and this yarn.  This version of the jaunty booties will be going to yet another expectant neighbor, very shortly!


You'd recognize this yarn as well if the photo wasn't so terrible - it is the teal alpaca/cotton that also went into a baby sweater earlier this year.  Now the rest of it has become a Saroyan, for my mom's upcoming birthday.  What a terrific and fun pattern!

Nice work! I think you must have a great reputation in the neighborhood. I bet that the area realtors know to mention that there is a generous knitter around the corner.

Colorful Booties and Socks

It is the Year of Colorwork, but mostly what I've done so far is produce a few color ful items!  I've been making this baby bootie pattern for years, mostly from leftover sock yarns.  This particular yarn is what remained from last fall's Flamewalker Socks .  That these booties stand up all by their jaunty selves makes them particularly appealing. These are  Crazy For You socks.  They haven't told me yet exactly whom they are crazy for , but I'll let them ponder that for a while.  It appears I may have caught a bit of Knitting New England's Tangerine Tango  with all of these orangey colors!

I have two skeins of Classic Elite Alpaca Sox yarn that absolutely refuse to become socks. They pool, they gap, they otherwise cry and carry on in all sorts of ways. So, they are becoming Wingspans instead. I finished the first one last night, and cast on the second one this morning. They are, indeed, a pleasurable and addictive knit!
