Yeah, you don't mind kicking ass when you have to, but otherwise you'd rather be hanging out with your sisters, baking cookies, or knitting booties.

My mom sent me a pattern for baby booties. It is a super cute pattern. But it was really hard. First, I haven't made a lot of things with shapes, and second, these boots are tiny. So the hook was tiny, and the books were tiny.



So here's my process.

I started. And messed up pretty bad.



Then I pulled it apart, and did it again. Then I gave up.

I found some simpler patterns, and made them with cheap yarn.



Then I tried the hard pattern again. With cheap yarn, and a larger hook.



And then I tried again. With the smaller hook and the nicer yarn.



It turned out really cute, right?
