finished object: garter stitch baby bootees
Brace yourself for the cuteness.
While I continue to work away on the baby bootees, and the finishing of the baby cardigan still awaits, I’m trying to think about what I’m going to want to knit next.
And nothing is coming to me. I’m blank.
What some of you don’t know about me is that I really don’t like children all that much. I cannot see myself having one, or adopting one, or otherwise sharing my life with one. It’s just not for me. But as a knitter, of course, I luuurve baby items. And I love nothing more than baby bootees. These baby bootees. I’m spelling them Debbie Bliss’s way, because it is her baby bootee (this one in particular) that almost manages to spark something in me to actually have a kidlet.
I went out on the deck to get some shots with good light, and got perhaps a little carried away. This is not a finshed garmet, after all. But it looks so cute! Here you can see the shot that’s in the book, which was actually my inspiration for the little cutaway. In the book, it looks as if it falls away to the sides, despite there being no apparent shaping at the edges. But it’s all deception and lies, really :) I covered the baby’s face because, well, it looks a little crazed.
