Crocheted caps and little Ballerina booties

This seems to be a season for babies. We have many little ones joining our families lately and it's been a real joy to welcome these little angels.As those of you who have been reading my blog would know , I love making baby stuff. There is always some or the other baby project on my hooks at all time.so I do not really need a reason...I just cannot resist making them. These are a pair of booties made for a precious little baby doll.

A little baby bonnet for the wee little baby.

And a little baby beanie style cap with a silk crochet flower.

There is a whole bunch of more baby stuff I will be posting soon.

Pink Ice Booties
I'm so totally crazy about this pink right now....talk about being hooked onto something! I've actually put it at the back of the closet and taken up other colors to work with.
These booties are the last project with pink thread. They are for my neighbor's pretty little baby girl.




I made a few more pocket tissue covers for Arte Craft Fair in different colors ( notice- no pink ? ) These were very well appreciated and a lot of people bought it for gifts. I'm planning on making more in other colors. Something Christmassy maybe ....

Knit MaryJane booties
This is my second pair of knit booties. I must say, this pattern though classified as easy and beginners, gave me a little bit of a tough time. I couldn't figure out the instructions and had to leave it for while and picked it up again after a week and it made sense! I'm proud of this one because I managed to get this done with no help at all and didn't give up even after frogging it out 2 times. I'm glad I stuck on until I understood the instructions properly. Although I must admit that it can turn out much better ...my knitting isn't all that smooth yet. The pattern is HERE But this was a good project and I learn't a few things :
1.to 'make one ' - left slant as well as the right slant

2.to slip, slip , knit decrease

3.to join yarn yarn at a particular point and knit from there onwards - this is the first time I've done this

4.to make a botton hole.

5.to accept that frogging out ( I hate it ) is a learning process and I cannot avoid it atleast not while I'm still learning! Maybe later on when I know knitting well enough I can get adventurous and avoid frogging out my work.

6.to use a stitch holder

7. Knitting needs constant counting !
