Hodge

Just recently I knit some more Hodge baby booties for our little girl.  This pair reminds me of a box of crayons.  The colours are so bright and bold.  I have said it already, but will say it again, this is my absolute favorite pattern for baby booties  The original pattern doesn't have a draw string band around the ankle for tying and so I added a round of yo, sl1, k1, psso where the ankle would be.  As always, I am super pleased with the way they turned out !

 This set is for my friend Jeni !  She is having her baby mid/end of December and will not find out whether or not she is having a boy or girl !  And so, once again, I went to my trusty Hodge baby bootie pattern and knit up a munchkin hat to go along with it !!!  I have already given it to her and she looooves the set !

A clean and simple white pair to go with everything in her wardrobe :)

Yesterday I cast on for another pair of whiteHodge booties, but with lace around the ankles. 

It looks super cute and delicate, adding cute girly touch !  I finished the first one and then knit the second one.  I was a little nervous, because I didn't have SO much yarn to finish the second one with.  So, while knitting the sole of the second bootie, I see that my yarn is getting very very scarce.  I am not left with maybe 1/3 of the teeny tiny sole needing to knit on my baby bootie.  I have EIGHT INCHES OF YARN.  

I know what you are thinking, go out and buy another skein.  You can always use another ball of white yarn !!!  And while, I completely agree with you, I have another problem;  I bought this yarn in the America and threw the ballband away.  Big mistake, I know.
