Apple Blossom Shoes



I've been busy this week knitting baby shoes from my own pattern. I've been having a bit of a play with the embroidery decoration. One of the teachers I work with is expecting in September, so I have been thinking baby. She doesn't know boy or girl yet, and these are definitely girl shoes.


I really love the main shade, which although perhaps a bit unusual for a baby, has little flecks of all sorts of colour in there. Usually my shoes are one-offs, but I liked this wool and design so much I have made two pairs. It may not be completely clear from my photos, but one pair has white blossom and one pink.

They are both for sale in my Etsy shop, and I am busy with another new design  on my needles.

    I think, that these little shoes are very grown up and smart looking. I love that they have a bit of an autumnal feel and actually don't look 'babyish'. That's a definite plus for me!

    I love the colours! My family once mocked me for knitting bright red baby booties for my cousin's first born, but I stand by my choice!
