I got a lot of knitting done on the way and while we were there, and with just a little more work once I got home I have finished the first baby bootie for Sam's sister.Side view:
Front:
Just needs a mate and either a ribbon or other tie through the wee holes.I brought home quite a nice purchase.. I had taken a book with me wanting to try a sweater. I was leafing through the book and looking for inspiration, when suddenly I realized I was looking at the exact yarn called for in a beautiful pattern, with just the right number of skeins left!
(only pictured two) Its a gorgeous color in Cascade Pastaza. Normally sold at $9 a skein, 4 skeins and 50% off = an $18 sweater!! How cool is that?I also got *shame* 2 more skeins of sock yarn. But! I have a very specific pattern in mind for them. I just couldn't decide between brown and blue.
After finishing the bootie, the kitties and I have been lazy all day. Kitty even snuggled up for a nap resting his head on my belly. I had to stop knitting to wrap my arms around him. Then I've been working on my Wollemeise socks.

Oh my gosh the baby booties are just soooo adorable.
I need to gay adopt.
But first I need major cash.
*accepts donations*
50% off sales are dangerous...you did a pretty good job resisting! I love Pastaza!
Cute booties too!!
can't wait to see both the socks and your sweater. you have so many great knitting projects going on these days.
You did a great job at the sale; one sweater and two pairs of socks don't equal freakish spending. LOL
Your baby bootie is adorable!
Thomas, I spent all my cash on fiber, but I'll help outfit the baby you adopt. :)
Dana, what a sweet offer.
Thank you!
I just knit some wrist warmers out of that SAME colorway of pastaza! So very lovely! And it knits up even softer than it is in the skein! Still have like 1/4 of a skein if you want/need it! I got it at Becky's so there's a good chance the dye lot is the same.
