Baby Booties
I make baby booties everytime I'm invited to a baby shower. They are nice because I can use a small amount of yarn and whip them out in a couple hours. I made these for a friend in my ward who had a shower this weekend. I've never made white ones before, but I think these turned out pretty cute!

Christmas 2009
Now that Christmas is over I can show of my many hours of work. I really have a lot of fun trying to find/make up patterns for projects that I think people will like. Sometimes I worry that it isn't as fun for the reciever to get knitted presents (instead of something from a store) as it is for me to make and give them. I have to remind myself that it's the thought that counts...right?!?
The green hat I made for my brother-in-law Mike. He loved it! I was very glad. The black hat I actually made for Michael (my husband) last year. I've made quite a few hats out of this pattern, and they seem to be a hit. I use two strands of yarn so they are super warm.
This hat and scarf set is one of my favorites! The pattern was so simple, but very pretty. Mike's sister Martha wore the scarf almost every day while we were in Illinois. It matches her coat perfectly!
I LOVE these vests. I made them for my nephews Trent and Spencer. Spencer tried his on right after he opened it (with help from his mom) and looked so darn cute!
I don't know why this picture is up-side-down, but here it is anyway. This set was for Macy who turned 8 the day after Christmas. They are so simple, but I know I would have loved the fuzzy yarn when I was her age. She looked adorable in them!
These hats were so fun! I found the penguin online for Spencer and thought it was such a cute idea. I wanted another animal for Trent, but couldn't find one that I liked. So, I decided to go out on a limb and make up my own pattern. It was a lot of fun! Next time I do that pattern I will probably make a few changes, but for the most part I love how it turned out!
