bAby BoOties.....

I teach crochet lessons each week to a couple of ladies at a local Barnes and Noble bookstore.

Although my student Ella is a beginner, she wanted to make a baby hat and booties for a friend of her daughter who was expecting her first child.

The pattern said it was a beginners pattern, but as we got into the construction we soon found out that it was not so......

the top of the hat and the sole of the booties

were fairly easy. The lacy edges

were really a bit confusing even

for me and I've been crocheting for

30+ years....We eventually figured the funky little stitch out and

she completed a lovely project.

She made another set just like it

in pink for another friend.

I think she did a superb job!!!

Way to go Ella!!!
