Baby Booties

After a few weeks of on and off working on these baby booties, I finally finished them yesterday morning before work. It is a gift for my supervisor's baby, Lily, who is due end of this month.

The yarn I used is baby pink and soft to the touch, especially perfect for a newborn girl. Except this bootie I made is for a 6-12 month old baby. After I made the first one and realized its quite big for a newborn. I did not have the guts to start over.

I truly enjoyed working on these and would love to make more in the near future. I will experiment with stitch count to make them different sizes. 

Baby booties are one of the articles of baby clothing that I think are the cutest. For the past week I've been working on baby booties that I learned how to make from a youtube video. There are a lot of videos on youtube about knitting and finding one that you like and is easy to understand for a beginner is hard to find. This one was fairly easy because it was the only one for knitting the booties and not crochet.

Crocheting is something I picked up a couple weeks ago. The crochet needles I bought had 7 different sizes. I don't think they are the best but good enough for a beginner like myself, who had never help a crochet needle.
