A Cinderella story?

Nope... I just haven't had a chance to make the second one yet.

I needed a break from the seemingly endless rows on the body of Fable (only 3 inches to go!), so I cast on for a pair of my Baby Janes. Can you believe there are 213 pairs of these on Ravelry - how cool is that?

I'm using some leftover DK angora that Mom bought at the KW Knitter's Fair years ago. She bought several cones in a couple of different colours. This blue has been used in a cardigan, a pair of gloves, these shoes and I'm hoping to have enough to make a bonnet to match.

There's no intended recipient yet, but out of the three "gender surprise" babies in the recent baby boom, I'm sure there is bound to be at least one girl. And if not... they can be put away for some future baby.

I stopped at Lens after work and picked up a few cards of buttons for the stash - including these little pearl hearts which were just perfect for a pair of Princess shoes!
I really have to design a big girl version of these!

so sweet and fluffy! Funny how we go to our own patterns for gifts; I always make my own wee sock pattern up for expectant Mums too.
