Sunday

sunday the 16th - where is the time going i might ask?
i am posting a picture today of booties made by my mother for Son the Elder back in 1979. Reason, you might ask? today on the Socks for Soldiers site the discussion is about slippers, and Group Sarge posted a pattern for an adult version of these. it thought it was a hoot to see big person feet in a little person pattern. the ADULT pattern can be found here .

These booties used to be called "stay on booties" because it was tough for little fingers to get them off little feet.

on my needles - the BBS continue in black - i am also casting on another pair in Regia Stretch in cranberry to be dyed. this particular yarn is just lovely to work with - even in black. when they say stretch they mean bouncing and light while retaining a terrific stitch definition - lovely lovely solid yarn.
