The Pitter Patter of Little Booties
These cuties are going to California for a short visit. Then, it's on to China to warm the little toesies of some babies at the orphanage where a group of Mommies and Daddies are going to get their new family member. April,whose Mom Penny is on one of the yahoo lists that I frequent, will be bringing home a sweet little girl and leaving these little toe-warmers for the kiddos that don't get Mommies and Daddies. Grandma Penny put out a plea for booties and I decided that would be a good use for some of the handspun yarn that my dear friend Mary from Missouri sent me a while back to be used for my charity knitting. Hope April and the little kiddles like these.
This picture doesn't do them justice, nor the yarn. I think that Mary may have hand-painted the blue. I is really a beautiful shade. I had some brown left over from some socks that I made for CIC from her yarn, so I knit one pair and the foot of another pair with that and did the ankle and cuff with the left overs from the 3 pair of blue booties. Good to the last snithch!
