My youngest daughter's teacher is leaving today to have a baby, so I took advantage of that to indulge in a little 'baby knitting'. I used the snowflake bootee pattern from Debbie Bliss' Baby Style and worked them up in cream 4-ply cotton. There's a dear little picot cast-off around the cuff edge.
I love doing bootees. I feel that I blindly follow directions and then all of a sudden, there's a little shoe shape! Magic knitting. Let's hope she likes them.
Everything else has been sadly neglected this week, Picot is a little bigger, I'm hoping to get some time on it this weekend. The children finish school next week for the summer holidays so there's a lot of end-of-term activities taking place. We've had Sports Day, an evening concert, a classroom tour, a swimming gala and a storytelling workshop and that's just in the last two days! Roll on the holidays - Mummy needs it!
