another pair of boosted bots


Heres another pair of boosted bots made with colinette jamboree and finished with cute bell ruffles as a customer request. Im currently working on a pair of colinette crops in bilberry, and have made a group of little snakes for the boys whilst i was waiting on the yarn to arrive for the crops, and now my camera appears not to want to work so i cant show anymore piccys :( I think its the usb cable so will get one asap to check.

Three Boosted Bots




Ive just designed an addition to the pattern, an inner layer of wool (double crotch area) so that there is extra protection for babies sitting for a long time or babies in slings just to give that little bit of extra confidence heres the first three pairs going off to a sweetie on monday :)


The "fair-isle" effect pair are Stamford Twilleys Freedom Spirit, which i really didnt love knitting with, the fibres split real easy and you have to watch your knitting rather than watch tv and knit like i usually do lol, however the finished result justifys the effort, i love the look of them, these are cargo style Boosted Bots. Next pair are Colinette Zebra aran, which i will be using again as i love colinette, and the last pair again are colinette popsicle double knit, which is so pretty:)

Modelling skorts



One of my twins modelling for me :)


Heres a pair of skorts i have made, the wool is Licourice Twist and was dyed beautifully for me by Mrs Flipmode, they are just lovely :)

Boosted Bots


In response to customer feedback, i have developed a new soaker with a double layered crotch area to give added confidence to wearing wool, particularly for babies in slings, to give that bit of extra protection, heres the first pair, they look just the same as our usual shorties but have the extra layer inside, which can be added to any pair of longies or shorties, am pleased with the result!
