Bootie Struggles - Pair #2

Slow progress this week. We had a couple of visitors these past few days, so I didn't have much time to devote to knitting. That's fine though. We had good company and my fingers needed the rest. On the guest list were two friends with a seven month old baby. So, you know what quickly came to mind, right?.....BOOTIES! I showed them the sample pair that I made last month and they thought they were adorable. So off I went to start stitching up the new pair.

I'm not very happy with how I seamed up the edges. They came out a little lopsided. I unseamed, seamed, unseamed, seamed....went the through the process FIVE TIMES and it still looked like it was sewn together by a three-fingered wino. Oh well, I still hope they like it just for the amount of love that was put into it. I'll start on the second bootie within the next couple of days. Here's hoping that at least this pair will be of equal size.

In the meantime, I have to find a dress for a friend's wedding this weekend. Tootle-loo!

Hi Jensita!

I was certain I had succeeded in sending a post already, but it never did show up! I hope this isn't a duplicate.

Anyhow, thanks for the info on NYC yarn stores! I passed it along to my colleague. She'll be in NYC next week!

The Morgan/Valeria plotline on Al Diablo Con Los Guapos is THE sweetest love story EVER on telenovelas!

Have you been able to catch up on AdCD?

Have fun with all these booties!

Thanks!
