Baby Barefoot Sandals

Yesterday I took my first stab at a pair of baby barefoot sandals! I crocheted them using a white yarn with a little sparkly string in them. They came out super cute! I made them to fit my youngest (Sienna) who is now 3 months old. I decided to put a little crocheted simple flower on the top of them to add to the cuteness!

It was pretty hard to get a picture of Sienna wearing them, since she loves to kick her feet. I'll try to get a better picture later. 

My oldest (Madison) who is almost 2 also wanted to wear them. So, I put the teal pair on here. She thought they were super fun! Since they were made for a 0-3 month old, they didn't quite make it around her leg like they did for her sister. But they still came out super cute! 

I will be making a bunch of these to put up on my etsy site for sure! :)

Crocheting: Learning the Basics - First Session

Well, I completed the first section of the crocheting class on Craftsy.com. I have to say that it was really easy to understand and follow along. Each section pauses during and after the section so you have plenty of time to play around with what you are doing. You can also pause it yourself and make comments to the teacher and any fellow classmates that are also watching the class.

The first section that I went through talked about the Chain Stitch and Single Stitch. I have to say that they opened my eyes to new creative ways to use the Chain Stitch as well as brushed up on my Single Stitch technique. I took what I learned in that section and followed my first pattern!

The pattern that I was following was one for a Cup Cozy that I also got off the website in the patterns section. It was a free pattern that I got, and boy was it easy to follow now that I have a working idea on how to read the pattern now! Here it is in all of it's first pattern glory!
