Baby Ellie’s Booties

What girl can't use a cute pair of shoes? Inspired by Sarah's adorable Saartje's Booties in angora, I made these for a new baby girl. The buttons are my favorite part–I totally want to knit a close fitting cardigan and use the same buttons on it.

We've had such a pretty fall weekend here in Connecticut.  I hope we have the same weather in Rhinebeck next weekend.  Yesterday after I finished up some grading and Neal some renovating, we hopped on our bikes and did a quick 14 miles on our nearby bike path.  As much as I feel like I'm in the middle of nowhere in this little town and miss my city life, I am fortunate to have so many great places to play.  Neal took Africabike on the path while I rode Trixie Trek, and he fell hard for the fun, fun ride she provides.  I think there may be another townie bike in our future.

I'm off to do more grading.  I reward myself every few papers and after really painful-to-read papers with a few rows of knitting.  Hope your Sunday is restful and rewarding, too!
