ZOMG!!!1!!1!!ONE!! I love these!


I knit these booties in the Ranco I bought at Nonna’s – I can’t believe how awesome they are! The colors just knock me out. These little things are so funky and cool! I made them in the smaller of the 2 sizes in the pattern – when Rose gets them (and Bailey decides to make her entrance – YOU ARE LATE, little girl!!! LOL) I will ask for some notes on sizing. It has taken everything in me not to run right back to Nonna’s, buy every color scheme of the Ranco that they have in the shop, and then go twitch-nutty knitting more of these. I am thinking that I can do sets of 3 – one set that is 100% Ranco, one set with a Ranco bottom and plain black (or white? Gray?) straps and upper, and one set with plain black (?) bottom and Ranco upper and straps. Ranco is hand-wash so it is not the most practical yarn to knit baby stuff in, but since infants don’t walk a bootie is the least obnoxious thing in this yarn. It is so beautiful; I don’t think people will mind the handwash!
