knitting pattern
I was traveling this weekend, and ended up spending alot of time in airports. This was actually good as it gave me time to do some backing up of my beloved powermac, which is old and, I’m afraid, getting ready to crash. I also used the time to finally write up a pattern I had promised months ago for the knit baby shoes I made last fall.
So here it is. You can click on the image above or the link in the sidebar. Please note that this is only the second pattern I have written for others to use and I haven’t had anyone test it. Let me know if you come across any problems or if it’s difficult to understand. I just wrote it like I knit it, so I’m sure it’s not exactly standard knit pattern language. This is also the first time I have put a downloadable file on my website, so let me know if you have problems with the download as well.
I used Rio de la Plata Yarn, which is a wonderful hand spun, kettle dyed, thick/thin yarn from Uruguay. You could also use Manos, or any other worsted weight yarn that’s just on the bulky side and has a thick/thin texture.
Now back to sewing -I am so behind! Hope you had a lovely weekend.

wow, martha, this is so cool. I can’t believe you’re giving it away!

These are just beautiful! I don’t even know any babies but I’m going to test drive them anyway (in Manos). Thank you so much!

Wow, I can’t believe you’re giving it away either. I’m going to start a pair of these asap since we know a new baby (born on Fri) and I don’t have a gift ready.

Is there anything you can’t due? I think I will give your pattern a try since I have gifts to make for three babies all arriving in November. Thanks!

thanks so much for sharing, martha.

gorgeous baby ‘boots’, martha. lovely. too funky, really.

It’s a cute pattern, but I am actually having a lot of trouble understanding the “wrap yarn” steps. Maybe some illustrations would help?
on Wednesday, June 6th, 2007 at 1:23 pm:
how darling! and what a lovely lovely choice of yarn!
i always linger in the manos de uruguay shops here, 
the scarves and skeins are so luscious… xox

I’ve off to check my stash for an appropriate yarn. Thanks for the gift!
Perfect timing - a good friend is en route to her midwife and we hope for quick results

Fantastic! I happen to have a skein of Manos handy and was hoping to use it up on something for the baby.. Thanks

Thanks so much for sharing the little sock-shoes pattern. Just what I need for my 4 week old newest granddaughter as the English winter finally seems to be setting in!
She will have little knitted shoes with a button strap as she gets a bit bigger - the health professional loved these on my other little grandchildren in their first year, as they allow the feet to flex and grow naturally!
