These are really fun. This is the website for the free pattern: Saartje Knits I have one more to go for the pair.
I used my own handspun yarn for this...which makes me even more proud! Handknit on size 3 double points. They'll fit a 3-6 month old baby, probably...or a really chubby-footed newborn!
This IS as soft and luxurious as it looks on the screen...I promise! Spun for Brenda who gave me some delicious roving in return.
I spun this Merino wool 2-ply yarn for a swap with the lovely Atlair on Craftster. It reminded me of the purple hues in a bunch of grapes. She is making two Pysanky eggs for me in return!
Altair's Vinyard 404 yards, 3.6 ounces.
Okay...while necessity is the mother of invention, sometimes invention can be the mother of danger! Hee-hee. I must say that I did not get hurt in any way using my new yarn swift and skeiner...but I take no responsibility for those who may! (Falling off of step stools, hitting your head or fingers on blades, someone accidentally turning on the fan while you're precariously perched, etc.)
Other than that...I had a blast making and using this! And it did make a rather lovely skein!
