For tiny feet

Another baby bamboo project, this time for an actual baby:

 



I am a bit obsessed with grey and other neutrals - on walls, in clothes, paintings, yarn... - they bring out other colours so well. With these booties the splash of colour comes in the form of cherry buttons my sister gave me. I followed a pattern, so I won't include the instructions here, but I am working on figuring out my own designs, which I will share if successful. I love that aha moment when you suddenly understand how a pattern works, how all these confusing instructions lead to a funny flat shape, and then you fold it over and tweak it a bit and it's a shoe, and it all makes sense.

  1. These are absolutely gorgeous! Why is everything so much more adorable when in minature form?

    1. Thank you! Yes, the adorableness seems to increase in proportion to the object's shrinking. Speaking of miniature, I love this: http://blog.brinja.dk/category/miniature/
