The motivation is back likely because I cleaned up a few loose ends. I finished the adorable Cable booties.
Yarn: Mission Falls 136 Merino Superwash 006 (discontinued)
Needles: US 5
Notes: OH MY GOD these are cute. CUTE. CUTE. CUTE. CUTE. STINKIN' CUTE. And the pattern is well written. I'm going to knit these again. I highly recommend you try them out too. Did I mention cute?
The booties were knit to match the little cable hat I knit a few weeks ago. I'll be giving these to a very pregnant mom in our preschool group this week at Parker's year end concert. (YEAR END!? Where did the time go?!) There are 2 more moms that will be due in the fall so I need to decide if I'm going to give them the same set or make more theme-y ones. (Pumpkin and Santa Hat potentially?)
I also received 2 charity blankets to add my section to. The rules were to cable them- so I did some lovely 6 and 9 stitch plaits.
Here's "Cable Guy":
There's a few more charity blankets coming my way this summer so hopefully I can take a good swipe at that acrylic stash and get it down to a smaller amount.
And lastly- just because I like to brag when I'm crafty in other areas of my life- check out these super cute cupcakes I made for Parker's preschool picnic today.
(It's a Gruffalo! A Gruffalo... why didn't you know? His eyes are orange, his tongue is black and he has purple prickles all over his back....) {if you have a toddler no explanation is required.}
Big reveal on the Stampede mittens are coming soon- stay patient. Once they've gone in I'll show them off to you proudly!
