strawberry booties and another poncho

Luckily I can announce the strawberry booties, because I am quite sure you are sick of ponchos by now.  I made these today (I think I started one yesterday) and they are super cute, though mine turned out smaller than 6 -12 months I’m sure.  I’ll try them on my twins tomorrow and check what size they are.  Mine are slightly different to the pattern, but yes that was on purpose, I tried the greenery like they suggested and I wasn’t happy with the result.  So I tried the same with a smaller hook, but still no joy, so I just did 4 scallops at the back with a 3.5mm hook, and that looked fine.  This is the pattern– and yes it was free!  Ben found it for me x Ben x

and Zoe is modelling the purple poncho that is now in my Etsy shop, but I think we need to take more photos because the wool all looks so dark it’s hard to see any definition in the design.  Like the shawl collar for instance.

anyway, that’s what I’ve been up to.
