Cute Pumpkin set for Baby J

I can't remember when I've had so much fun knitting something. Domino can't remember when he's had quite this much fun, either. Patient cat.

Take a look at these booties -

-they are so cute. These are Christina's booties, and they're easy to knit. The tie is ended with "Just a Leaf," a pattern that I found on Ravelry. I see lots of "Just a Leaf" projects in my future. These leaves are a snap to knit, and so fast and easy.

The little slipper and hat set comes from this flickr page. I used "Just a leaf" instead of the leaf recommended in the slipper modifications. You could actually do the icord as an applied i cord, but since it's not much sewing, I chose to just sew it on. I provisionally cast on and knit the i-cord, ending with Just a Leaf. Then, I picked up the provisional stitches and knit the other half of the i-cord, once again, ending with Just a Leaf. I used the tails at the middle and at the tip of each leaf to sew everything to the slipper. Fast and easy!

This little set is for a great niece who was born on my birthday! Woot! I turned 50 and she turned just-born on the same day (Oct 22)! I am quite amused by this.
