How an octopus became a bootee.
October 5, 2007
This is the story of a piece of oilcloth.
I cut it out haphazardly and edged it with bias tape. I did not fold the corners well. I did not measure the pockets to match.
It is wonky like most of my speedy quick projects.
It is functional. It keeps Abby’s butt off of the floor when I change her diaper.
This is Adrian. He likes bikes. I made him a bike crown because it was his birthday. He was infinitely more pleased than this picture might make you assume. I’m mighty proud of that embroidered bike. I did not get a closer picture. I’m bummed about that.
This is an out of focus octopus of yarn. When I seam it all up and add buttons. It will be two more bootees for the 9 pregnant ladies I know. Yes. 9. Yes. That’s a lot.

I love the bike! Actually, I love everything in this post. And the green on those booties is beautiful. (I’m still waiting on my yarn
Thank you for letting me enjoy your projects vicariously!)
