This is not a knitting blog
And no. I am not pregnant. But Alex’s sister-in-law is, with her second child and thus the presence of un-Heza-esque accessoires. Please don’t feel disappointed on both counts.
This is called an FO in the knitting world. But I have yet to discover what F.O. stands for. Some how Vietnamese soup comes to mind.
This is my 3rd project I have completed that is wear or verschenken (gifting) worthy barely. I won’t dive into the details of how much time it took because I am no speed knitter but I will tell you that the yarn is bio-yarn (organic) and typically used to knit lovely socks for Tracht. Yes, the little kid from Bochum will be sporting Bavarian booties. Sabotage. Here is the pattern.
Alex wants them back if they don’t want them when the baby gets too big. I thought that was a nice compliment. He likes small things. But still they may do with these as the please.

Those are fantastic! Some of my favorite gifts that we got when Z was born were the homemade ones.
Those are too cute! Well done!
Hi,
I’m not a serious knitter, just dabble in it here and there, but have hung around Ravelry enough I’m pretty sure F.O. means ‘finished object’.
You did really well on the booties!
They’re perfect. Of all the gifts I’ve received for my children over the years the ones that meant the most were handmade.
the booties are just adorable.you did a great job knitting,i wish i had that skill,lol
Precious! I remember Ping teaching me how to knit and I got frustrated so easily.
Those look fancy! I’ve never progressed beyond scarves and frozen water bottle cozies (don’t ask).
Thanks everyone for the comments!
@AFM – aw, I was hoping that was true!
@Lisa – TY, TY. Now I know. It’s an object.
@Melody – Skilled I am not. It’s very helpful to have friend show you the ropes. And there are videos on the net for free.
@Polly – I found a way of knitting that’s pretty ugly looking and slow but it gets the job done without the frustration.It’s become my agnostic way of rubbing a string of beads.
@Jul – It takes mad skillz to make a proper cozie. They’ll always be treasured. Show me how!
