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!
Look at the those wee booties! So cute!
The booties are absolutely adorable. And Disneyworld? I'm officially jealous!
i 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.
I 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!
Aww, so cute! You are such a good friend to knit a second pair when the first pair was too big.
Love the booties! I think some patterns are just sized wrong. I've had that trouble a time or two.
