Learn to Crochet!

Softee Baby Baby Booties look cool! Every time I ever tried making booties they never turn out. So maybe, just maybe, if I work with others at the same time I can make a pair! And bonus, my sister just had a baby so they may even fit it if they turn out fine this time. They are sized for higher than newborn right?

Yes, they come in TWO sizes: 3-6 months, and 12-18 months

ahh, thank you!
love this line:
With 1 ball of yarn you can make approx 12 pair of booties.
How awesome is that? You can make one for a baby you know then 11 more for charity. I Know Spinrite has a donation box, and they used to have a promotion that if you brought in a handmade baby item you would get a discount or an entry to win a basket of goodies. Can't quite remember, since I always forget to bring the items I have made when I go. Maybe when we go later next week for their new giant ball tent sale I will remember to bring in all the hats I made two years ago!

Good plan!
I adore knitting and crocheting for charity. I couldn't tell you how many things I have made and donated. It's just so satisfying, isn't it?

I think I will start the second CAL later this week.
I've been stuck in bed sick for the past four days, so I can't do it right now.

Stay tuned for the Baby Booties CAL!

SHendah, where did you get your lighted crochet hooks? I've been looking for them and can't find them!

My lighted hooks are called Crochet Lite hooks. I got mine in the clearance aisle at AC Moore a couple years ago. You can still buy them online. Even right here in the Bernat Shop! http://shop.bernat.com/default.aspx?PageID=218
