Kezia's Booties
I posted back on the 7th of February about some little booties I was giving away to a little baby I know. Well, here is a pic of her wearing them!! They fit her perfectly and look ever so cute!

thing a day; seven
Today, I finished off a lovely pair of booties using Saartje's pattern. Saartje is from the Netherlands and has a really neat blog (don't worry it's written in english!).
The booties look very "Valentines Dayish" and are going to be a gift for my friend's daughter Kezia! I really like the look of the pattern, but it seems to me most of my friend's are having boy's and so I am not able to make them very often. :(

Gorgeous Harrison and his Mum!
No, I didn't say George Harrison!!! Hehehe!
Here is the cute recipient of my work last week, and his mother's work the week before! ;)
Look at that beautiful head of red hair, just like his Mum! :)
And, yes, I did get to have a wee hold!!! He is oh, so adorable! Makes you feel just a little clucky inside! :D Liz & Scott, what an extra special bundle of joy you have there! Well Done!

bootie pattern!
Here is my favourite bootie pattern, so I won't misplace it in the real world! hehehe!!! It was over on my personal blog, but suits life better here!
Cast on 34 stitches and knit 12 rows.
On the next row, knit 20 stitches, knit 2 together and then turn.
*Slip a stitch (with yarn in front), purl 6, purl 2 together then turn.
Slip a stitch (with yarn in back), knit 6, knit 2 together then turn.*
Do the above set 8 more times, so you knit back and forth on those centre 6 stitches, picking up 2 together on either end, for approx 10 rows, or until you have 24 stitches on your needles. (take a count each row to make sure)
On the last one, knit to the end of the row.
Create an eyelet row for ties: Purl first two stitches, yo, knit 2 together until the end of the row.
Now, knit 20 rows to make the rollover cuff. Cast off.
Stitch the bootie from toe to cuff and turn the right way.
Add ribbon, crocheted yarn or knitted yarn for ties.

Harrison's present
I was wondering how I could pull Harrison's gift together - how could it be packaged?! When, I had a lightbulb moment - a drawstring bag, that could carry dirty nappies when Liz was out and about! So here are Harry's gifts in all their glory...
I am pleased with how the bag turned out, I sewed across the corners to make a squared bottom, and used some cool american crafts ribbon to match the cute fish I appliqued onto the front.
