My Creative Space

This week I have been frantically trying to finish crocheting some baby shoes for a friends baby due last Friday, and I am proud to announce that they are finished! (Still waiting for the baby) This is somewhat of an overwhelming experience for me. Having actually finished a project is an amazing feat, but to have finished it before I actually need to is just unheard of. No last minute all-nighter for me this time. Although, I do wonder if perhaps she would prefer a different colour...

I am also pondering the idea of a matching beanie, and am currently dreaming up the pattern in my head. Perhaps I'll manage that all-nighter after all.

I'm very excited today. Last night I finished a baby shoe that I started a few weeks ago. Things never happen quickly in my house. The most exciting thing is that it worked! This is my first attempt at following crochet pattern. Admittedly I did free style it a bit when I my number of stitches didn't match the instructions, but ultimately it worked. Strangely it was the footbed that had me the most stumped. I don't know how many times I unravelled it. Then I realised that the pattern was from the US. DOH! Once I figured that out, I was away.

All I need to do now is finish the second shoe. Given the baby was due on Friday, I'd better get a wriggle on.

The pattern was 'Baby Mary Jane Skimmers' from http://hookcandy.com
