:LOL: Odds are good I'll never actually see the baby. It's for a husband and wife trucking team that I know through a trucking community website.

THey turned out really nice.  I have seen people sell similar hand-crafted booties for $$.

Thanks. I prefer to make gifts as to sell my work.

What I meant, but apparently didn't phrase well, was that they look high quality.

Mason, what a lovely (can I say this to a burly truck driver) gift!

 

I'm with you on the gifting thing.  People often ask me why I don't sell my stuff.  I tell them that then it would work instead of a hobby. That would take the fun out of it.

 

You did a nice job!

Thanks. Yeap, that's exactly why I don't sell the stuff.

A friend asked me to post an image holding one of the booties in my hand to get some idea of their size. Maybe she just wants to make sure they aren't really for me :LOL:

Thanks. The bottoms and tops are garter stitch, while the sides are stockinette. The garter stitch gives some stiffness and shape to the thing whie the stockinette sides gives more stretch.

It's the same with me and fixing PCs for people. I often do it because I enjoy fixing computers and working with them. I also like to show people how to keep them up to date and well maintained without spending a penny on software by using the best software that is free such as AVG, Spybot and ccleaner. They still give me a few bucks for my trouble and I don't want to upset them by saying no, but I would do it either way.
