Hi Dear Blog Readers!
Oh we are sure getting a mixed bag of weather today. Snow! Sleet! Wind! Rain! It's winter, that's for sure.
This week I needed a break from the sweater. Joe and I went for a little get-away to Niagara Falls and I wanted something more portable than he sweater, so I started booties!
This was my inspiration....socks I made Joey years ago.
I saved the yarn in case he ever had a little boy, which he did.
I found this pattern for Stay On Booties . A very (very very very) simply worded pattern that needs a lot of interpretation. Notice that I have printed out the original, and three more of the same pattern that others made notes about. I have used all of them.
So anyway, I made these booties for Jack. I added some fluffy yarn to make it softer.
I read the pattern wrong (all four of them) and had to rip back a bit. Once I figured that out it made sense.
The pattern is kinda cool...It's like orgami that you sew together. My mattress stitch is not that good. I'm hoping it evens out.
Ruth has started a new sweater! Perfect Polo. Hinterm Stein pattern. Yarn is Bartlett sport.
Martha made a cable hat for her son Tom this week. She used Bartlett yarn. Cute huh! Now she is making him texting mittens.
In other news:
Joe and I got to see the little boys this week, but we were so busy playing I didn't get any pictures. Joey's family has been sick so I haven't been able to see them in a few weeks!
Have a good week dear blog readers...I'm off to start the 2nd bootie!

we love Niagara Falls, been there many times but not in the middle of winter. I do love small projects to tote with me while traveling.
The booties are darling. The little one won't care a whit if the mattress stitch isn't just right. I'd love to visit Niagara Falls someday. It must be impressive in the winter. The purple sweater looks beautiful and so does the hat.
