Babies Galore

So many people I know have had babies or are expecting. Over the last couple of months I have added new patterns to my etsy shop with quite a few booties.














Maryjanes with a nice wide strap are pretty unisex. It just depends on the colour one uses.




I discovered Lily Sugar'n Creme cotton yarn. I have to buy it from the US and wait a week for it to arrive, but it's worth it. A good exercise in delay gratification. I order through Spin Blessings and they are always very quick to post it out, and they accept Paypal!

Still love Heirloom 8ply cotton, which is light worsted, and I've also started using Red Heart.


I didn't have any boys style booties, so I came up with a little boot design, which can be either short or tall.














These unisex baby shoes are made with Patons Smoothie.















The ladies cloche hat is adjustable (via the ribbon) to fit teen to adult.






These shell scrubbies are quick to make and the bright colours are so cheery. I came up with the design by accident when I was experimenting with new flower designs.




My pattern pack (4 crochet patterns for $10) is going great guns.

Crochet Booties for pretty baby feet.

I was working on a basic bootie design with a strap and had made the flowers with another project in mind. But I just had to have the flowers on the booties and the pearl looks too sweet. They are cotton yarn (light worsted weight = Australian 8 ply). The yarn is Heirloom brand and I love it. It's so smooth and has no fluffy bits like acrylic can have.

I sorted through my yarn the other day. So much yarn, so little time. Harrison sleeps for a couple of hours in the morning, after he watches The Night Garden, and I get a bit of work done.

This pattern is available in my etsy shop.
