Itty Bitty Baby Booties

Hello???  Anybody out there, doing any knitting besides me?  :)  

A couple families on my street are having their first baby.  One little boy, due any day now and another little girl due in July.  So, I knit up some newborn sized booties to keep those little tootsies warm.  :)




The booties are made from the Basic Bootie pattern from the book Too Cute! by Debby Ware.  I've changed the pattern a bit to make the top of the bootie different so they stay on better, but other than that it's pretty much the little bootie in the book.

Bear Hats

There is obviously a theme of hats going on here...  This last weekend, I knit up a couple hats for a girl that I work out with's son, London.  She said that they refer to London as their little bear and wanted to know if I could make a bear hat.   Of course I can!  I am the yarn whisperer after all.  So, I gave her a couple options.  One is knit up with bear ears made out of Baby Cashmerino by Debbie Bliss (some of my favorite yarn to use for kids stuff).  And then, since it is starting to get a little warmer here in Wichita, I made a blue hat with a bear face knit into it out of cotton.
