Baby Feeties by Anne Sahakian
It's a free pattern on Ravelry you can find it here 
Uses a minimal amount of worsted weight yarn.
size five needles
takes about 1.5 hours
perfect
I love these. I love carrying them around in my pocket when I am done knitting and showing them to people. They visibly melt when they see them.
I have some suggested rules for wear,
since I don't know that they will stay on very well, my recommendation is that they are worn in the home and lounging around on Sunday mornings instead of out for the Sunday morning jog to the dog park.

but they are adorable and I imagine there will be more made before the babies arrive.

Here are some final details:
the Tweedy Cashmere by Filatura di Crossa are for Bump.
the pink merino by Malabrigo are for Miss A.

I hope they enjoy them as much as I think their parents will.

It's possible that I looked for a long time yesterday to find a baby to try them on for me... but I was afraid that I would have to leave them with the baby and knit another pair (not a hardship by anymeans but I haven't reached the point in my knitting life where I randomly bestow knit booties on babies in my office waiting room, maybe next year)

Tell me what you think...

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...
