A Rarity

Published by lolly at 5:12 pm under Baby/Children Knits, Stashbusting

We don’t see many babies ’round these parts… so when one of my friends at work had a baby a few weeks ago, it was a nice opportunity to experience the quick fix that is baby knitting. I originally planned to make a pullover (I even started it) but after pulling it out again, I realized that it just wasn’t an enjoyable knit. So, I regrouped, and did the simplest thing. I knit some baby booties.

Booties and Card

I used a simple T-strap pattern from the Summer 2007 issue of Knit Simple magazine. Matched it up with the cornflower blue cotton (Sugar ‘n Cream) and after one night of hockey, I had some finished booties. The little sailboat buttons seemed like a nice match! Little did I know that my button choice was the perfect match to Adam’s outfit at the baby shower today!

That’s right. His little outfit has a sailboat on it! :)

They seemed to be a hit. “Huh, Lauren made those?” “Lauren from the Archives?” “How cute!”

    I can’t decide which bit of that scrumptious little fellow I’d like to eat up first! Super cute, and how fun that his new footwear matches his shirt.

    Cute baby booties and a cute baby. It’s so funny that he was wearing an outfit that matched them when you gave them to him.
