Snowdrop Shoes



I usually say that the items in my shop are unique, but just for once I thought I would make some of my Baby Bee Shoes that are exactly the same (except for the size). 

I thought it would make a good extra photo for the pattern, and emphasise that it contains instructions for two sizes: 0-3 months and 3-6 months. I love this wool, which is Jaeger Luxury Tweed, and was left over from a pullover. I clearly misjudged how much to buy, as I have also used this to knit a dog coat, and still have more left. It is so fluffy that the shoes almost look as if they are felted.

The other reason I embroidered snowdrops was that the snowdrop season will be with us soon. I have seen a few garden snowdrops online, but has anyone seen any wild ones yet?

    I do like that colour blue and with the added snowdrops they look so sweet. We dont have any in our garden as yet but then we are always last to get them in our part of Scotland!

    Awww these are so pretty, I have seen the snowdrops making their appearance, I'm hoping for a few dry days so I can get out to take some photo's. They look really pretty against the blue, it reminds me of bright spring days :)

    They're lovely! I wish I could embroider knitting so well. We have seen our first snowdrop of the year a few days ago - but only one solitary bloom.
