First up, the "two-colour shoes"...
They took about 3 hours to complete the pair...I am guessing.
Pattern: Two-coloured shoes from Debbie Bliss The Baby Knits Book.
Yarn: Baby Cashmerino in pale pink and cream.
Adjustments: Well, I made the 6-9 months but they are way too big. My gauge seems to be right, but they are more like a 9-12 month size.
Here is the button detail:
I love the Baby Cashmerino already, but in garter stitch it is just delicious! I truly think that this is my favourite yarn. As much as I love these, they are too big...so I knit these next...
These took a little longer...like 4 hours for the pair.
Pattern: Bootees with picot edge from Debbie Bliss Quick Baby Knits.
Yarn: Again, the baby cashmerino in pale pink. I completed both pair with one ball...and maybe a yard of the second ball, plus the scrap cream I had for the two colour shoes.
Adjustments: None. They are for 0-9 months and look right on the money.
The sock is moving, slowly. I have made a couple mistakes and have had to tink back...the pattern sucks for that. I am just not sure of the stitches when they are crossed...a pain to tink back. I am hoping to finish the first one today or tomorrow so that I can knit the second one on our little family vacation next week....going to Disneyworld!
Lace Leaf is just about complete. After preliminary try ons of the top section, all I can say is....hmmmmm.....
Aw, I love them both, but the picot edge booties with the cuff are the sweetest of all. What fun! I adore DB Cashmerino, too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLook at the those wee booties! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThe booties are absolutely adorable. And Disneyworld? I'm officially jealous!
ReplyDeletei HAVE CHECKED BOOTIES GLAD THEY ARE NOT FOR MY FAMILY!iN MY DAY ,i GO TO KNITTING AND THEN TO jOHN'S SITE TO LOOK,BUT IT HAS BEEN REMOVED. i NOW HAVE TO GO BACK AND START OVER AGAIN , THAT'S OK, THEN ON TO fAMILY SITE, IT JUST CHANGES MY COMPUTER PATTERN FOR THE DAY.
ReplyDeleteI think all DB baby patterns are sized big. Everything I've knit from The Baby Knits Book so far has been huge! For instance, I made a Baby Raglan in size 0-3 months for a friend, and it fit my daughter when she was 18 months old! I also knit her the cardigan from that book, in the 2 year size, and it's going to fit her for at least another 2 years (she's 2.5 now). But I figure you get more mileage out of the knits that way!
ReplyDeleteAww, so cute! You are such a good friend to knit a second pair when the first pair was too big.
ReplyDeleteLove the booties! I think some patterns are just sized wrong. I've had that trouble a time or two.
