Boot Cuffs

Now that I finally finished the Big Secret Baby Thing and I only have one other planned baby knit, which is really a toddler knit....  I'm selfish knitting.  Well, selfish knitting and maybe, depending how it goes, knitting for the Etsy shop.

I mentioned a while back that I wanted to knit myself a few pair of boot cuffs.  I've finally knit one.  One boot cuff.  I better get busy if I plan to knit any for my shop.

I love the yarn I used, which surprises me a little.  Good grief!  I am Such a yarn snob these days!  I was in Hobby Lobby recently and picked up a skein of Yarnbee Rustic Romantic in the Pumpkin Spice colorway.  I just absolutely love the color! It's not quite orange, yellow, gold or brown.  It's somehow a mixture of all four.  And it's surprisingly soft.  The yarn is a mixture of acrylic and hemp.  I've never knit with hemp before and I'm not a fan of acrylic anything, but I'm actually thinking of going back and buying a sweater's quantity of this yarn.

But first, I better knit a second boot cuff.
