SO I've decided to crochet a pair of baby booties to compliment the beanie I made for my sister's Peanut. I started a couple hours ago and I already have the cuff and instep completed for the first bootie. I also decided to do it two-tone. The cuff and instep are RedHeart Baby Econo Solids in Serene Green and the sole (sides and bottom) are going to be in a lovely peach color (as it was gifted yarn, I don't know the specific brand or color name). The pattern was found on the Bernat website and can be seen here on the Ravelry site. It's a super easy pattern and I'm pretty sure both booties will be finished by Monday afternoon. Her baby shower isn't until 11/12, so I still have plenty of time to whip up some matching mittens or a sweater (remaining yarn permitting). I won't lie, I'm rather impressed with myself for picking up crocheting so quickly! I always had thought that it would be much harder than knitting, but it's quite the opposite! I can do things with crocheting easily that I wouldn't be able to accomplish with knitting. I feel so much more productive and accomplished (things which are very good for my self-esteem). I think I feel happier overall and it's made a big difference in my day-to-day life. I'm more relaxed, slower to temper, and much more energized. It's hard to believe that something as simple as crocheting could give me a new lease on life... long live the hookers!
