Booties

These booties are made from a pattern I found on Ravelry. I think they are called "Sarjees' Booties". I made them in 100% cotton and sewed on faux vintage buttons to hold down the straps. I am now working on a matching hat with a garter stitch border and just stockinette stitch body; I might make a knitted flower or something to sew to the side of the hat when its finished. Or, I might sew on a few matching buttons.

Beret

This was an italian silk blend yarn that Jeff's Aunt Debbie gave me. Its varigated with shades of pink, purple, and blue. I think its heavy worsted weight. I didn't have quite enough of it to make this pattern exactly as written; I had to skip some knit rows inbetween decreased rows.

Socks in Shell Pattern

This pattern is from Nancy Bush's Knitting Vintage Socks. The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy in Giant Peach; merino wool. The socks come up mid calf. They were much much quicker to knit up than Jeff's shooting stockings, probably because I had memorized the pattern and didn't have to keep refering to the book. And, my legs and feet are much smaller! They are a little itchy, but very cute.

Whoa, my legs look enormous in the picture. Its just the angle.
