So. Cute.
Around 1:15 AM last night, I finished the hands down cutest project I have ever knit.
Baby Booties.
Perhaps it was the late hour, or perhaps it was my biological clock, but when the booties were done I squealed with delight. Yes, I actually squealed.
I don't think I ever imagined such cuteness existed. I mean look...pom poms!
Kind girl that I am, I brought the booties with me to work today so everyone there could also enjoy the cuteness. The booties are a gift for a recently born girl baby named Lizzie. If she doesn't like them I am taking them home and displaying them in my room. I hope that's not strange.
Stats:
Pattern: Posy Booties
Source: Jaeger JB29
Yarn: Lang Jowell, color 162, hot pink, gifted to me by the lovely Heather for my last birthday
Needles: US 2
Mods: None
Notes: Easy to follow pattern but did take longer than I expected. The finishing is what took the most time. But I am SO pleased with the result. Would knit again and again. In fact, I just might. I could become baby bootie knitter specialist. Now that would be the cutest job ever.

VERY cute indeed! Finishing is definitely the worst with all such tiny super cute baby patterns.

I think you should hang them on your rear view mirror. That wouldn't be strange at all.

Those are soooo cute! I think the pom pom really makes them super adorable. Many of my friends are having babies so I'm on the look out for a good bootie pattern.

I LOVE these booties. Do they come in adult size 7? They are so adorable that I am actually considering having more kids, just to get a pair.

Those are adorable! I love the pom-poms, and I never thought I would be writing that!

You're right. Booties don't get any cuter than that! Well...I know what's up for my next baby project. And don't worry, I do have more baby showers to knit for. Gah. My friends need to stop having babies.
