Quick knitted gifts

Scratch Mitts & Baby Booties


Originally uploaded by RockyMoreno

I've been planning for awhile now, to knit some precious items for a close friend or I should say family member of mines & my husbands. They were expecting their 1st girl after 2 boys, well, time flew and I fell behind on my knitting, what with contests, projects & stuff, anyways, she had her baby girl just a few days after this past 4th of July!



We haven't visited the new parents yet, they've probably written us off by now..upset we haven't visited.



I had to jump into high gear when I heard she had the baby, so I quickly put down the Socks Wars socks I've been sluggishly working on (yes I'm still alive and starting to get sick of it), and I started knitting these cute Simple Booties & Scratch Mitts as a gift. The pattern is from the book "Easy Baby Knits".



The booties aren't done yet, I still have some ends to weave in and some Pom-poms to make. The Mitts are almost done, still have some seaming to do. These little things knit up fast! I'd be done already but I had to visit family this weekend so my knitting got put on hold. I need to go buy some pink ribbon tomorrow so I can put the finishing touches on these cuties. I'll post the final pics soon.



And the Specs are:

1 skien Blue Sky Alpaca in Pink

1 ball Cash Velo in White

Just a little Silk Pink ribbon

Size knitted is Newborn 0-3 months, knitted with US2 & US3 needles





P.S.....
