Red Booties

Here's the picture of the finished red baby booties. It'll probably fit a 6 mo+ old baby. I think I need to make the black ties shorter. They look a bit long. 100% Cotton, US 4 needles.

I have not re-cast the baby alpaca baby booties. The reason I had to frog it in the first place is because the pattern did not make any sense when it come to the toe shaping. The pattern just says "toe shaping is done by working in short rows," but gives no instructions on how many rows or stitches! I hate poorly written patterns! I want to find a good baby bootie pattern done on double pointed needles. Until then, I'll do the alpaca booties on 2 straights.

I spent this evening dyeing yarn. I actually tried to take pics of the dye process. It was Stinky Silk Woes (pic) all over again! Quite dismal and disappointing. I don't have time to reformat all the pics now, and since it's late, I'll have to rant about my Stinky Silk Adventure, Part 2 later. I'm going to cry now.
