My knitting pattern says “make 2 button loops” and hey presto your knit is finished. I’ve searched and searched – help – are loops crochet not knitted? And if so where are some Simple instructions!

I’ve always been put off booties but I have found a fabulous pattern, free here from Saartjes bootees (fab site)

It’s taken me nearly 3 months since amongst other things it entails a Long tail Cast On, months ago I checked out a couple of sites and it looked Really Complicated. Since plucking up courage yesterday and doing another search I found it’s my usual cast on – heck what’s going on. Anyway nearly finished bar the button loops and luckily my dudlette even with her large feet won’t fit them yet as I used larger wool and larger needles than the pattern!
