I didn't have any safety eyes as recommended in the pattern, so I made the eyes from felt and stitched them on. So cute!
Very quick and easy to make, I have a couple more in the pipe line already.

Crochet Baby Owl
I just couldn't resist this Crochet Baby Owl pattern I found on Ravelry when browsing for bootie patterns.
I didn't have any safety eyes as recommended in the pattern, so I made the eyes from felt and stitched them on. So cute!

Blue Booties and A Campervan T Shirt
Just a quick post this week, to show off the Blue Booties which I had to crochet quickly due to the chap at work having had a baby boy! (I was sure it would be a girl - pink booties here).
I also completed a project with my marvellous Silhouette SD, for my Brother in Law, who requested a Campervan T shirt, after seeing the West Ham one I made for my husband. Brother in law Terry is a Chelsea supporter, so of course the Campervan had to be in Blue and White and with a Chelsea Logo.
I was really impressed with the way the Silhouette coped with the intricate design of the logo at quite a small size. (The cat logo is already on the t-shirt, which Terry provided me with).
I love my Silhouette machine and must do some more projects with it.

This is the last time I will post about crocheting booties (for now! LOL)

Pink Crochet Booties - Finished
The Pink Booties are finished I couldn't turn them into Mary-Jane's, I'm just not that clever! I need to start with a Mary-Jane pattern, I'm sure a more experienced crocheter would have known what to do...
However I am very pleased with the Pink Booties, the shape is much better than the green ones from my last post. It just goes to show that following the pattern and taking your time is worth while. I've even realised I had only done 3 rounds of cream on the cuff on the green ones, when it should have been 4!
I have been out and bought some Duck Egg Blue wool, so booties attempt 3 will be on its way soon!

PS: The baby hasn't been born yet, so there is still time to have booties ready in the blue too!

Crochet Booties - A work in progress
One of the chaps in my office at work, wife is expecting a baby any time soon! What a good excuse for a bit of Bootie making!
I originally was looking for a pattern to sew a pair, however lots of Crochet and Knitting patterns came up when I searched, and my crocheting is marginly better than my knitting.
I used this pattern from Ravelry as it looked about my level (easy!) And having had a rummage in my stash of yarn, I choose some 55% wool double knit, as it feels beautifully soft when made up.
My first attempt resulted in a green pair of booties which are slightly lop sided. However I have turned the first bootie inside out and they look kinda like a left and right pair.
I have started a 2nd pair (in pink and cream) and this time paid more attention to the instructions and they appear to be coming out a little better shaped. I have decided instead of completing the bootie, I will turn these into a pair of mary-janes for a girl! As I don't know the sex of the baby yet, I will have both pairs on stand-by for when the baby is born!
I will post picture of the of mary-janes when I have finished them!

I WON!
I have just suffered a very nasty bout of flu! It started on New Years Eve and even now I still feel a bit fuzzy headed. Just in time to cheers me up I received this in the post today...
I don't enter many give away's, but when Greenpixey was offering one of her lovely crochet elves especially in purple as a prize I didn't hesitate to enter. And much to my delight I won!
I recommend Greenpixey's blog if you are interested in Crochet and amigurumi. She also has a shop on folksy... check it out! http://greenpixey.blogspot.com/2010/02/elf-girl.html
I have a feeling it won't be long before my daughter has whisked my Elf away to play with!
