I have made a pair of bootees out of Kid Merino with a Splash embellishment for the impending baby of my dear friends Veronica and Miguel. I haven't checked with Guinness on this, but I'm pretty sure I've managed to make the cutest bootees of all time.
Thus:
It's kind of hard for me to make things that come in twos because, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person with this problem, I make one of them and it's interesting and fun and a challenge to see if I can make it come out, but then the second one is a huge damn chore. These took me two weeks, which is ridiculous, and the only reason I finished them at all is that the baby is due, like, any second and will undoubtedly have two feet, unless Veronica and Miguel have extraterrestrial DNA that they're not telling me about, so there was no way to avoid it any longer.
Anyway, Splash is my new favorite novelty yarn. I'm making a skinny accent scarf out of it next.

Those ARE the most beautiful knitted booties ever! Good work! Keep knitting - it's a pleasure to do and to see. Plus it's relaxing and less stressful than alomost anything else.
Thanks Mom! :) If I ever figure out how to make them in grownup sizes you'll be the first recipient.
