Mid Night Booties

Well, I finally managed to knit something - yay!


These are the BSJ Inspired Booties but we call them Tiddler's Mid Night Booties as I knitted them through the middle of the night during a bout of insomnia. They're not as dainty looking as a lot of the ones on Ravelry as I used bigger needles and an aran yarn, but I wanted a chunky pair so I'm pleased at how they turned out. I'm not sure how much use we'll get out of them though - Tiddler manages to get them off within seconds of me putting them on. I tried to get a photo of him 'modelling' them but he kicked them off too quickly. Still, they satisfied my desperate need to get my hands on my knitting needles again!

I was hoping to have a go at knitting something for myself but I want to make a cardy for Tiddler before he gets too big, Miss Muffett has requested a poncho, and Mr Earplugs wants me to sew 'something' for his Grannies birthday, so I guess I'll have to wait a while.

I can't tell you how great it feels to get a bit of 'crafty' time into my life again.

  2. Oh they are beautiful!!! I think even if they fall off they would look gorgeous on display in his room. Baby shoes are so cute, I have a pair of my youngest's Inch Blue leather ones with hearts and wings, can't bear to part with them!
