Frontier Dreams: Baby Booty Blues

Baby Booty Blues

These booties (rav notes) were originally made in August for my (then) 6 month old, but I didn't take any pictures of them-insert whining here of all the issues I had. I made them the biggest size as he was outgrowing the original booties (rav notes) I knit inspired by Amanda - I think everyone was inspired to knit them by her! He wore them a lot but his feet were always freezing in them. I felted them just enough in the washer last week and now they are nice and snug and warmer, too. He needs some more booties but I think I'll try out some other patterns or stick with my tried and true patterns (type 'booties' into search box)

What are you working on? Happy creating!

Taking a break from C's Phoebe sweater updates this week but if you have some updates on your Phoebe sweater for the KAL, please add them below, and don't forget to link back here.

Happy namesake day my sweet Baby L and Happy Saint Lucia day everyone!!

I was totally distracted by those beautiful babies... the bootees are very cute- but my new favourite is baby socks!

The booties are so cute, and partially felted sounds like a perfect solution!

Those booties are precious. I will need to add that to my list this summer (due with #6 in June). Loved the pictures for St. Lucia Day. Great idea for the wreath and crown ... now, just how to make them!

Love those booties. I have several go-to bootie patterns, but I always seem to be drawn whenever someone mentions a new one.

Oh darling little Santa Lucia outfits. I love the baby's outfit too. My toddler refused to keep his star hat on. I just posted photos from our Santa Lucia day yesterday.

That Bernat pattern is my favorite bootie pattern too. What type of yarn were you using when Baby L's feet were cold? I've only tried it with a baby merino wool and we've had very toasty toes! I like the felting idea, maybe I will try the pattern sometime with large needles and try felting them to size for, hmmm, elf booties?? ;-)
