.... I am mostly knitting. Holiday knitting is such a joy for me. I have so far completed two pairs of red fluffy shoes, a pair of cashmere and merino socks and a pair of cotton socks. Here are the smaller of the pair of red fluffy shoes; they are for baby Isobel Rose. The other pair I made today and they will be promptly shipped out a few blocks away to little Welly who is just too cute for words. I hope she likes them; they will definitely keep her little tootsies warm.
This is a really easy pattern I like to use. I've been dabbling with some pattern development over the past few months and this pattern can be adapted to make shoes for up to four years old. Poppy's shoes are based on this pattern too with a Mary Jane strap instead of an ankle strap. I prefer to make an ankle strap for younger children - I think it helps the shoes stay on their feet. Usually, I would knit a flower for the front, but the little flower button is so sweet, I don't think the shoe needs anything else.
