Booty Call!



In case you didn't read the side link, I have 2 very pregnant coworkers, and one who's abou 5 months along. Cheap, easy, quick gifts. And everyone always oohs and aahs over them.

This pattern is from one of the Leisure Arts books they sell at Michaels and Joannes, called "Knit One for Baby!" It's part of a layette set. In retrospect I don't actually know why I bought this book, but for a while there I was making a lot of baby clothes and blankets despite not knowing anyone who was expecting.

These booties were super quick. I only knit them on public transportation (which I've been on waay too much lately). The entire set of 6 took about a week. They were all made out of leftovers (from the gloves and some yarn that Kati gave me. These are two needle booties made on 2s and 3s, and I wouldn't do them on public transit again. Straights poke holes in plastic knitting bags and tend to fall in bad places.

In other news, Kati has a knitting blog now! Go give her sum luvin!

Happy Oscars!
