Believe it or not!


What? A finished object? Yes, indeed! I have been wanting to make these booties for a while now but just never did take the time to dig through the stash to find the right yarn. I wanted to make a baby gift for a friend and thought mary jane booties would be perfect. I started with another pattern but did not like the result. Sooooo...I dug out the yarn, found two balls of Rowan Cashsoft DK, and voila, a really cute pair of booties. I will say the first one took a little longer than it should have, but I breezed right through the second one once I figured out the construction. I didn't even mind the seaming. I think they are really cute and I am thinking about other color combinations. Mostly, I feel good about actually finishing a project! I have my really large bag all seamed and ready to felt. I hope to get it finished soon but it's hard to get excited about felting wool in steaming hot water - in June - in South Georgia...
