Harvey

I live Southwest of Houston. Thankfully we're fine, just a little water damage where the roof leaked and the green house roof got ripped up a little. I heard at least 3 different tornadoes go by when Harvey made landfall, I have a feeling one of them did pulled the shingles off. But other than that we're fine. I know a lot of people cannot say the same...
   I am very thankful that while I spent all Friday and Saturday moving things up off the ground we did not get flooded. Now Mom and I are going to go through everything playing "keep, sell, donate".

 I hope everyone out there stays safe and dry.

Booties

I decided to get creative and try to make up a new pattern for booties. So far all I have is the sole.
  I'm not even sure about the colors. My mom says they look a like a carrot. But at least you should be able to find them if you're in a hurry.
I was going for something gender neutral so I could give the prototype to whichever family member has a child next.

  Why make a new pattern, you ask? Because the other one took too long to make. My cousin had twins a few years ago and I wasn't able to make both pairs before the shower; I ended up having to ship them a week later. I'd rather not have to do that again.
  I've been stuck trying to figure out what type of stich I should make the top part out of. I think I'm going to have to just bite the bullet and make one. I'm leaning towards a slip stich pattern like this pair of socks I made that my mom loves.

Sorry I didn't post for a couple of weeks, I've been working on getting ready for school. Classes start on the 28th assuming we're not underwater. Hopefully it won't be that bad.
      Have a bat-tastic day everyone!
