A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

-Proverbs 31:10-11,30

Baby Stuff: Hats and Booties

Are you ready for MORE baby stuff? Good, because I made these over the weekend : )
First up, a couple of CUTE little knot hats. I got the free pdf pattern from Prudent Baby. These were kind of a trial run, but they turned out really cute! The pattern was easy to use and I made each one in about 10 minutes. 



 Next up, Simple Crossover Booties that I found for free on Ravelry.
The booties turned out pretty cute, but the pattern was terrible. Instead of supplying a pattern, she should have just given guidelines. The pattern is pretty simple, just make a T, fold over the "arm" parts and stitch them down... but the number of stitches and rows was way off. The first one I made, following the pattern, I couldn't even stitch together the proportions were so bad. 

Ok, sorry. I didn't mean to sound so critical. Just know that the concept is good, but you might have to tweek it. Other than that, this pattern was very easy. 




Now I just can't wait for a cute baby head and some cute baby feet to put these on!
