No Pictures--

But I finished something else today.
It suddenly dawned on me that even if the baby isn't coming for another week or so, today is probablly the last time I'm gonna have to see Emily and Haya before I leave. I realized this about three hours before we were supposed to have lunch with them, and obviously there was no chance of finishing a sport-weight sweater, even for a new-sized person, in three hours. I wanted to give them something for the baby in person, so I pulled out my Stitch n Bitch books. I found the one hour baby booties in SnB Nation and knit them in less than an hour, about twenty minutes per bootie, using two strands of worsted acrylic. I finished weaving in the ends in the car going across the Verazzano bridge on our way there, so no pictures.
This pattern is kinda nifty. I wasn't sure about it, I always think the picture in the book looks a little lumpy. It's knit flat in one piece with a short row toe and sewn up the back. I didn't figure out how it worked until after I finished the knitting on the first one but then it seemed really obvious. I didnt do the little ankle strap thing because I was going for less of a mary-jane look, but it's still cute. I hope they fit!
