New baby booties...

I made these for my old mentor in my first year of teaching. It was her baby shower a couple of weeks ago but I couldn't make it coz of the snow but I got to see her the other day and give her the booties...she doesn't know the sex of the baby as they're leaving it for a surprise. I was going to make one pink and one blue booty, but lucky for her, I ran out of pink wool (hence the rather sensible but cool for a baby creme and white!)

A fine example of guerilla knitting

So I was walking to Sainsbury's the other day after a quick pit stop in the pub for a Guinness with the better half and we spotted this fine example of guerilla knitting. I love it! I think it's so nice that people are willing to put the time and effort into making something and then put it round a tree or whatever else to look pretty and make others smile. It got me inspired. I might have to do a spot of guerilla knitting myself :)
