Reproduce


The first pair of booties in 2014!


While I'm hoping to avoid a repeat of last year's bootie frenzy, I will need to maintain a fairly strict production schedule given all of the impending arrivals!

Also - since these are made with leftover sock yarn, they also technically count as REduction, albeit a small one.

(I do need to attempt to clear the decks at some point because Casapinka has another MKAL coming up in a few weeks and it requires 1600 yards of four different colors of fingering weight yearn - egads!!!).
