Knit felt baby booties from Baby Drops.
I found the cutest pattern for baby booties. I was on a hunt for some "simple" baby booties I could knit or crochet, because for some reason my fingers rebel when I start making tiny pieces. Oh my goodness, I found a pattern to knit and felt these. (Yes Jenn, a boy or girl 0-6 months could wear these.)
Enjoy the progression from knit to felt in photos:
I placed the finished piece on a magazine so you could see the size of the item before felting.
Here's the link to the FREE online pattern.
This is what I call "shrinking on purpose." Too fun. The soles are 3.25" long. That's baby shoe size 0 to 1.5 (yeah!) 0 to 3 months - but getting them wet and stretching them they may go as big as 4". So cute.

I'm so honored to be the 1st ever Spotlight interview at Squidoo, for their So Crafty on-line magazine.

Social media and me, a plain ordinary knitting grandma.
Funny, strange, weird, normal, I don't know how to categorize myself.
I have gotten so enmeshed with social media and search engines. I actually have earned nearly $100 recently just from Amazon sales and Ads that run on my articles.
It is exciting to know that out of millions of blogs and online articles, spouting their expertise on everything from homemade doggie treats to how to grow Kentucky blue grass, I've made a small mark.
It all started with this blog here on Blogspot. I learned how to write online, learned some HTML, experimented with adding modules, included interested readers inviting them to "follow" my posts, and have met a lot of interesting people that I now follow. This blog is "connected" or backlinked to several web pages.
A year ago I discovered Squidoo, the place to write articles online, each article, called a lens, is a stand alone blog. I now have 66 of them.
Many of the lenses I write are related to my knitting and felting, but other topics include my faith, my life story, our travels and various assorted interesting topics.
Please feel free to go to this link and see where I've been since April 2011. And if you choose to join me on Squidoo, I'd so appreciate it if you would use this link to join. It's free, and you have a personal coach that steps you through the entire process, writing online.

My latest lens has many photos or watercolors I've painted with scripture quotes. Here are a few samples just in time for Easter.

"Designer Handbags - Accessories for Winter" is in a contest.
I write on Squidoo quite frequently. I wrote this article, "Designer Handbags - Accessories for Winter." in 2011 and now it's up for top 11 of 2011 on Squidoo.
Last year I wrote and published 62 articles on Squidoo. It is a free platform for writing honest content, and building an on-line presence. I have had a blast with this fine group of writers.
TODAY ONLY Saturday, December 31, 2011 until Midnight Eastern Time, my article (called a lens) is up for nomination to be one of the TOP 11 Lenses of 2011. Right now, 10:12 AM Saturday, 12/31/2011, it is #1.
If you go to this link you can vote too: The voting has been going on a few days, so the page is quite cluttered with comments. Here's a picture of what you're looking for.
At the top of the page is a display of photos of the 100 top contenders. 20 rows of 5 each. My article is represented in the photo of a handbag on the 2nd row, 4th from right.
Under all these pictures is the list of 100 contenders to vote for, Mine is "Designer Handbags ... Accessories for Winter," the 9th one down on the list.
Below the list of contenders is a collection of comments from readers.
If you're up to voting for my article I'd sure appreciate it. I enjoy writing, and hopefully others enjoy reading what I write.
Thank you readers.
Had to add a picture of a purse I made before felting, then a picture after the felting process. Too fun. The finished product always surprises me. This one is still on sale on Etsy.
