I'm so glad my camera decided to focus on the inside of the booties. And that the best photo I could come up with was on top of the dishwasher with flash. This pair went to the newborn of a friend of my mother's. I haven't heard if they've been received, but the two pair that went to husband's co-workers were much appreciated. I was really surprised. The woman expecting a girl was thrilled to receive something that wasn't pink--I can remember that--and has promised that they will be the first booties her daughter wears. The other co-worker was really impressed with all the ridges and said she couldn't knit at all, well maybe a scarf. That's the second time someone's said that to me and for some reason it stumps me. What's wrong with a scarf?
Melissa, thanks for the suggestion. I've heard nice things about that book, and may have to get it!

Not to be contrary (because there isn't anything wrong with scarves) but I think what someone means when they say that is that they don't know how to read/follow a pattern to make things more complicated than scarves. Having said that in the past myself, I know that's what I meant by it.
