Froggy Knits

March 23, 2004

Quack

I had just enough yarn to finish them and a lit' bit left over for my knitting journal sample (and I mean a little).

Project Specs:

Pattern: 50 baby bootees to knit by Zoe Mellor (pg. 65)
Yarn Suggested: Rowan Cotton Glace
Yarn Used:Sirdar Calypso Pure cotton (1 ball yellow-683 & small portion of orange-701)
Yarn Yardage: 116yds/106m
Needle Size: 3
Gauge: 24st/4in

Now, would I knit these again? Yes!

Fun and fast to knit, however next time I will make the cuff entirely in orange. And if I got along better with size 3 double points, I would rip and do the same for these, but I am pressed for time and must move on as I have many projects anxious to get off those needles.

Too cute! Those little Zoe Mellor bootees are the most adorable things. Great job. Love the trim at the bottom!

Thanks so much for the kind words on my Kyoto!!! That was actually the first sweater I've ever made, so it's nice to hear a stranger say it looks good. Good luck with yours, I hope you enjoy knitting yours as much as I did mine.

Too, too sweet. I love the idea of a baby with duck feet!

Adorable! I've had my eye on that book forever...not that I have a baby of my own to knit for, though...

Forget the babies, I want those in a ladies size 6! How hilarious would those be around the house...

What a great pair of duck feet! That Sirdar looks like it makes some nice, soft booties.

They look fantastic! So glad that you had enough yarn left over. They were the first booties I made from that book and I went on to make lots more, they are so quick and easy and fun.

I've been looking for this yarn for about 2 months. I've started an afghan which I can't finish because I only bought about 12 skeins and now I need about 8 more skeins of Sirdar's Calypso DK Pure Cotton #683 Yellow. Would you please advise me where you purchased this.

These are amazingly cute! I may have to make these for a friend of mine who is having a baby. Luckily, she's not due for a very long time.
