ReplyDeleteHa Ha--those are too funny! Thanks for posting the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThose are soooo cute! And with Joann's and Michaels' practically giving away fun fur at $1/skein I don't feel so bad buying a few extra for "just in case stash" purposes. Going to share this with my group that does a lot of charity knitting for babies. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love your patterns! Thanks for sharing. I also love your pom. My precious baby has passed on and i miss him so. They are such lovers arn't they. Thank again for sharing.

ReplyDeleteJust joined, and these booties sound so wonderful for my great-grands.. /can't wait to make them. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteHey, I have a stupid question...Are we knitting these in the round on four double pointed needles?
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Nancy
When you read the pattern you will see it says, Sew up sole and back of booties. It is also written in rows not rounds. I hope that helps you to know what to look for when trying to figure out if a pattern is worked on double points and in the round or like this one knit flat and sewn.
ReplyDeleteWOW FUN FUN FUN Thanks for the great pattern!!!! These are my first booties Ive made!! THANKS FOR SHARRING..... Sharon
