Baby Booties

This pattern is based on the Simply Blue pattern from the book, "Twenty to Make" by Val Pierce.

In the book, Val Pierce has the reader knit the "bootees" on straight needles and sew the seam up when it's done. Loved the pattern but I am a “no seam” kind of gal. So, I revised it to work on circular needles, casting on with the Magic Cast On method.

I also decided not to do the garter stitch across the toe. I like the look of the stockinette stitch…

I like scanning the pattern and printing out a copy. That way I can take notes and not worry about marking up a nice book!

Another Baby Sweater Started

Love the yellow color of this yarn. The pattern is a nice one and I hope this sweater turns out as well as the blue!

Well, The Pattern Was Going So Well...

The knitting I was doing in the last post really was turning out well, so I kept going and this is what I made. It's from an old vintage baby pattern from back in the 1940s.

Although it still needs buttons and the blue ribbon around the neckline, this is definitely one more item for the Hope Chest I am keeping for my future grandchildren.

Lace Knit Pattern

This is called Feather and Fan. I thought I'd give it a try, with some scrap DK yarn and a US 5 needle. Followed part of a UK vintage baby sweater pattern I recently found. Believe it or not, their knitting terminology is a little different in England. The way they number their needle sizes is quite different, too.
