(Not Quite) Ruby Slippers
Oct 25th, 2007 by Nola
I started working on my new knitting project on Saturday–Baby Mary Jane Booties for Sun. The left bootie went very well and flew of my needles. The right? Not so right. I misread the instructions and knitted a second left one. So I ripped back and re-did part of it. I have been told that the measure of a good knitter is the lack of fear in ripping back bad knitting. If that is the case, then I must be a great knitter, indeed! After three rip-backs, I was so disenchanted with the right one, I did the unthinkable. I ripped the whole thing apart (they call this “frogging” in knitting) and started completely over. So my left one was finished Sunday and my right one was finished last night. With no further ado, I give you my first baby booties:
Stumble it!
That is freakin’ cute! I love the color against the flush of baby skin =) And, the button on the side totally completes the look!
Haha, it takes me forever to knit something because if I didn’t catch a mistake soon enough, I’ll re-do the whole thing!
Joanne–I am the same way–why is it knitting mistakes slip on by for rows before they are caught? Soo frustrating! But at least booties are so small that even with mistakes they get finished really fast.
Those are really cute. (And, I don’t see the mistake.)
How friggin’ adorable are those? I really wish I was half as talented as you are to do something like this. I’m not but a girl can wish:)
aww…that is so adorable!!!!
