Addicted...



...to quick-finish projects.

It started so innocently, with these (pdf):



And then I got some noro and a bar of soap and made a scrubby*:



I couldn't stop. The booties -- they were too cute! I had to make more:



...can't... stop... making baby booties... so... teeny...


...I cast on for another pair last night...

*Scrubby ingredients:
Noro Kureyon, size 5 circular needle (or 5 size 5 dpns, or whatever gets you about 4 stitches per inch, embroidery needle, bar of soap

Recipe:
C/O 12, work 7 rows in stockinette
Pick up 3 stitches on short side of rectangle, 12 on the far side, and 3 on the other short side.
Work seed stitch in the round until the soap fits inside the bag.
Cast off 18 (one short side, one long side, one short side).
Work remaining 12 stitches in stockinette for 7 rows, bind off.
Insert soap, sew bag closed.

I am trying really hard to ignore the cuteness and allure of the bootees...don't know how much longer I can hold out.

Let me know if you dye yourself with that scrubby. I love it but I don't think I need to be that rosy...or maybe it wouldn't be that bad?
