| Neat Little Feet |
One of my friends asked me if I would be able to find time to knit a couple of pairs of premature baby booties in a hurry! She wanted to gift them to a new mum who has just had tiny twins.
The new mum's request was "No fuss, no frills, no ribbons, no bows, no buttons - just plain simple booties."
I hope these fit the brief! They are now wrapped up ready for my friend to collect tomorrow.
