Something new! Something Pink and Blue!
Or shall I say, Something Pink or Blue?
MrB had been trying out some patterns for baby booties.
They are just so darn cute! You can't take a picture of booties unless there is a pair. This pair does not happen to be a matched pair but good enough for a photo. I did not want to rid the practice ones as I thought they could be used for something else. The one on the right is a prototype we have come up with using a pattern and our own ideas also. It will have its mate cranked out at a future date now that we know what our vision is. We were thinking it would be nice to have a couple pairs of these for sale at our market periodically. Hey when you think of spring you think of newborn baby lambs and other animals and birds so why not think of other babies coming along also. We will not have any booties ready for our this Saturday's market as MrB has other irons in the fire, but perhaps for our first February market, booties there will be! Don't you think they are so adorable? Oh and I must mention they were made on the 60 cylinder of the CSM. I will have more to report on booties later, but for now you can see the preview picture. I just LOVE them :-)
