An FO of Sorts
Even though I haven't had much time to knit, I did get a little something done.
No I didn't knit these.
I did the tech editing. They're Kate Gilbert's latest -- Lise booties.
This is a seriously clever pattern. The whole bootie is knit in the round, from cuff to toe. No seaming, no picking up stitches, nothing. The shaping is adorable and the way it's knit is so smart. So much so that I would ask Kate to edit my patterns (if, you know, I got off my butt and published any).
I showed my brother and he already requested a pair for my nephew (with a jingle bell instead of the pompon). Bonus -- I can use up some scraps too.
I'm even tempted to make one with a longer leg as a Christmas decoration (maybe with some fur around the top?).
So, if you're looking for a quick and unique baby gift, or you know an adult who'd appreciate wearing something a little whimsical, this is the perfect pattern.
I am in love with Lise and am so glad that you and Kate finally got the pattern out!
oh...those are cute.
How adorable!
you forgot to tell everyone how brilliant you are.
Those are SO cute! What a great technique!
(as an aside, what technique did you use on the photo to get all the white around it - I love how it looks!)
Those are wonderful!!
Ohhhhh so adorable. I'd love to slip on such a pair for Xmas Eve.
The cutest!! Very Dr. Suess-y!!
Oh my goodness--they're so cute.
Cute indeed. When will you publish some of your own creations?
I have a quick questions about the natalya gloves - is your swatch flat or in the round?
Thanks so much!
