Winter Booties and Smock Dress with Bunny Buttons

The baby tried on her purple Mary Jane's and they were way too big for
her. I would imagine she will be able to wear them in about three
months. These pink ones look more like a size 4 instead of 6 months.
I think the Vanna's Choice is too big and too bulky for this pattern now that I have seen them on. They are as cute as a bugs ear, BUT don't look that dainty on. I think I will switch to something like Simply Soft by Caron and see if they don't look a little more dainty. I have also
just about finished an adult pair from Sylver Design which I will post soon. They look pretty good, if I do say so myself!

Baby Brother's Birthday Afghan

I am no where near done with my niece's afghan, but her Big Daddy's
Birthday is coming up the end of the month. I had promised him an
afghan so felt I'd better get it started or it would never be finished
in time. Even now, it may not be as I started with a size "M" crochet
hook - which is very large. So large, in fact, it is making the 48"
afghan into 70" afghan - so I started running out of yarn before I was
through the first half! Had to buy more, but I think I have enough
now. I tried the stripe going up the afghan for kicks and it doesn't
seem all that easy to me. Perhaps once I have "striped" it several
times it will flow better for me. I did allow myself to get a bit
sidetracked with the little two-toned booties for the grandbaby, but
am now back on schedule! Still love the new yarn. Interesting that
my two afghans are from Vanna's second afghan book from 1997 and new
yarn with Lion Brand! They make a winning combination!

Slippers for Alice Anne

These booties come from a pattern by Sylver Design. She is a clever designer! The booties have two soles, which makes them very very soft and warm. I'm going to buy one of her adult patterns to a pair for me! These are a size 0 - Alice Anne was born on the 10th so they should fit her just fine for about one month!
