little gifts

I never realized how satisfying baby knits would be.

For one, they are fast and secondly, they turn out so cute.I have been eyeing up the Saartje's Booties for quite sometime.

I just needed to wait for the right time.

I had to learn how to crochet a chain (oh no!) for the button straps,

but it wasn't too hard.

I was trying to use up scraps on these booties

but next time I would either do the whole bootie in variegated yarn

or use it only on the bottom.

My husband didn't think it mattered that they didn't "match".

I am thinking it is just part of the handmade charm.

Since I still had yarn leftover, I whipped up the hat last night.

So fun! So easy!
Hopefully the perfect set!
