I like the roll-top with ribbon, too. Can’t wait to see them!

I scored two skeins of Bernat Softee Baby yarn for $1.00 each (Pink Ombre and Mint Green, 4.25 oz each) at my local thrift shop, yesterday. Those will be made into the Premie baby caps I like to make for one of my charities.

I’m jealous of your “score”!! A good find on yarn is always such fun! :-)

Getting set up to give “Judy’s” a try. I know I can do it - we’ll see how many times it takes & how frustrating it gets. I may have to go next door .... dogsitting & my payment is a large box of wine 🍷:-) I dogsat a week ago & no wine was left for me, so I get ‘extra’ this time. A glass of wine helps keep frustrations tamped down considerably!

Off to my knitting!

First (ever!) baby bootie hot off the needles. The pattern works & Judy's Miracle Cast On IS a 'miracle' - haven't wrapped my head around how it works, but it does. I only had to start over twice - 2nd time was a stupid mistake messing up a stitch.

I know where the "trouble' spots are now - I'll do another bootie to match this one, but I might try a different yarn & work on sizing as well.

No real ribbon - used some cheapie wrapping ribbon just to see what it looks like. There are 'spaces' in the stitching to weave the ribbon through.
