...baby booties and hats (most definitely not a yellow polka dot bikini!).




The silver lining of being forced to rest is time to do things I don't always have time for. I have several new rosaries on my rosary blog and I finished up several preemie hat and bootie sets for this contest. These hats and booties are just so sweet and I don't think I'll every tire of making them. Most of these are for a 3 to 5 lb. preemie, but a few are a little larger. Now I'll wash them and send them off to the Preemie Project. I have some extra skeins of baby yarn and my church has a knitting ministry that donates hats and scarves to the homeless. I think I'll knit up a few items for tiny homeless people.

The booties are all this pattern (top pattern and they are so easy to make) and most of the hats are from this page as well (scroll down -- first hat or second hat).
