Boot Cover

These boot covers are super easy to make, they can add a bit of color to all the gray winter outfits and keep your legs warm. You can use any stitch style to do these as long as the bottom is Ribbed. You make a rectangle to fit around your calve, Rib for 2 inches then pick any style of stitch that you like and knit 4 inches.  Sew or crochet the short sides together, and tada!

This is the pattern I used, please keep in mind that this pattern only shows what your end result should look like. If you want to fallow this pattern, here is what you do, the first row do what the pattern says, the second row do the opposite of the pattern, if it says K (knit) you have to P (purl), 3rd row will be the same as the pattern and the 4th row will be the opposite, and that is how you carry on through the whole thing. Please let me know if this is helpful to you and if not I can try to improve.

It Is Time to Knit

Hi Friend,
It is rather cool in NYC today, and the air feels so fresh. It is cool enough to pick up the knitting kneedles again and start making something cozy for the winter to come. I am working on my new hat and I think it is time for another Knit & Eat Party, who wants to come?
Have a lovly day.

Playing Outside In Winter

Hi Friend,
On the weekends Mr. B and I take Baby B to the park or the playground, She loves the swing, and is scared of the slide (unless one of us slide down with her, then it is super fun) It is great to get out to go play early in the morning as a family and then walk over to a bakery for breakfast and coffee. Baby B takes bites off of our egg and cheese croissants and walks away to say hi to everyone.  All of these little pleasures in our weekend mornings have made me think of what are we going to do in WINTER.  I have been eyeing a snowsuit for Baby B, but I am hesitant because Mr. B is convinced she will hate it (he hated them as a child) What is a Mom to do? do you have little ones? what do you do in the winter?
Here you can read about babies sleeping outside in their stroller in Denmark, while Mommy is sipping her coffee inside a cafe. That kind of safety and trust in my fellow citizens are so foreign to me.

Have a happy weekend!

Baby Neck Warmer

Hi Friend,
Please allow me to introduce you to Baby Baftani, isn't she a doll? I am a very proud Mama. She is 14 months old, a super fast walker, and when she looks at you, it seems like she is reading your mind. Oh and she likes to eat paper (I don't  know what to do about that, any suggestions?)
Here she is modeling my new Neck Warmers for babies. I have been knitting them for this winter. They are soft and easy to use for babies who seem to want to take everything off. and you don't have to worry about constantly adjusting it. they can also work as head bands if you pull them up and over the ears.  I will be putting them on Etsy soon so please check back for updates!
