Takin' on the Booties - again!
Alright! I started the booties again last night (I ran out of yarn for the blanket and am unable to finish until I find more... arg - if any of you have Bernat Pipsqueak that you are willing to part with, leave me a comment, please!), and I have to say that I am quite pleased!!
My little self-imposed time out was most beneficial, I zoomed right through the pattern with no problems! woohoo! I am through the "ruffle" part of the first bootie and starting the instep...
Until next time...

First pair of baby booties
Well! today I start sharing my knitting progress! Two days ago I chose a Bernat pattern for baby booties (baby knit booties, free online at Bernat.com or on the label of the yarn), and after 6 tries, the pattern is finally taking off!! I should have chosen an easier pattern to start with, but, I have learned so much! I'm glad I took on the challenge.
I learned how to do a yfwd (yarn forward or yarn over) - being a continental knitter, I grab the yarn from the top with my right needle and pull it forward and just let the yarn stay there.
I then learned how to do a sl (slip stitch) - simply passing the next stitch to be knitted onto the needle instead of knitting the yarn through, and
I learned how to do psso (pass slip stitch over) - which is simply pulling the stitch that was slipped up, back and over the previously knitted stitch. this one can be tricky if you knit too tightly... haha
I also learned that sometimes the parenthesis within a pattern don't always refer to the different sizing variations. Within my pattern are parenthesis that mean that small portion is to be repeated within the repeat... aha!! so that was my problem...
So, after starting over 6 times, I have completed 8 rows and the design is turning out beautifully! I am so excited and can't wait to see the end result.
check out my pics and see what you think! YAY!!
