Christmas booties
Finished last night, photographed this afternoon before the sun fades too much.
- Project: Christmas Booties (Garter Stitch Bootees by Debbie Bliss, Quick Baby Knits
)
- Yarn: Jaeger Matchmaker Merino 4-ply, Color # 0705 (dark red) from stash
- Needle: US 2
- Start to Finish: December 22-December 23, 2011
A quick project, they're knit flat and seamed up the back; I always fiddle a bit at the heel.
I was having a bedtime snack the other night and reading the local paper. These are from the "Jokes & Riddles" section:
Q. Why are Christmas trees like knitters?
A. They both drop needles
Q. How do sheep say Merry Christmas in Mexico?
A. Fleece Navidad
It's heading towards 3:00 and I'm still in my PJs! I've been putzing all day, getting things done -- getting a couple of boxes ready to ship, organizing and cleaning some space in my studio/office for the organizing and staging of Christmas -- so after that happens tonight, I'll have some space! Hopefully, the trend will continue...
My niece will be here within the hour, my sister in about 2-3; I'd better hit the shower and get working on my potatoes.
Happy Christmas!
It sounds like you're having a lovely Christmas! Do what you like AND create darling little booties, tell silly jokes! Happy, Happy Christmas Eve!!!!
