I really love these shoes. They were easy to make too. (The link to the pattern is here, at ColourKnits.)
Unfortunately they didn’t fit the boy. 🙁 (As his auntie would say ‘Pudgy feet!!’)
But they’ve gone to a good home with his little friend MM. (Who’s mum has just come back to sewing. o/ We have a sewing day in the works. Should be a ton of fun.)
FB will remain shoeless, especially now the weather has turned lovely. Don’t worry about him though – he has cute socks. (Though none that I have knitted, mainly because his feet grow too quickly. :|)
These are soooo cute! Shame about the pudgy feet (I’ve been holding off for the same reason, I love the chubby ankles but they make fitting shoes a bit of a dilemma). I love your robot fabric – it looks great!
The robot fabric was from The Eternal Maker which is the parent site to The Button Company (literally – it’s run by her mum!) i bought a fat quarter of it at the Festival of Quilts last year*.
Kim had already made a really cool bag out of a blue version of the same fabric, which the stall went nuts over. very amusing. 😉
(btw ravelry was playing up for me, and i owe you a couple of replies, which i will get on to today.)
