If you have to make a baby knit, make these. They are so adorable and tiny! The pattern is fantastic and so quick. I am a really slow knitter and I can't believe how fast I got these done. Well, there are only 30 rows! I have six pregnant friends all of the sudden, so everyone is getting a pair of these. One of them is expecting twins!

I am almost done with Clue 1 on the Mystery Stole 3. I am working on this slow and steady and I am so shocked that I am knitting lace. I really think knitting the Montego Bay has helped prepare me for this. I am able to find a mistake without ripping the whole thing out and I love how it is coming along, I am so excited. Isn't it purty? I opted to not put in beads (too scary) and I am using the written directions (charts also scary). So, I am moving along on it and not going to rush or feel intimidated that I am 4 Clues behind! ;)

Chunky baby tootsies are the best! Those booties are sooooo cute. Love your choice of buttons.

Those booties do look great. I was looking at that pattern recently, but have no one to knit them for yet. Must say your stole looks good too. I also prefer to knit from a written pattern rather than a chart, although lots of knitters say that once you start knitting from a chart, you'll never go back. Happy knitting.
