April Showers Bring Cute New Knits

How adorable are these knitted rainbooties? Wellies! LOVE! 

Hand knit by me in yummy cotton with cute details, they are super sweet.



After I made up this pair, I knew I had to make one in rain slicker yellow trimmed with grey, which OF COURSE meant I had to design a rain hat to go with them...



I think they came our pretty awesome.

I can't take credit for the bootie pattern (although I did have the same idea sketched out in my "to make one day" pattern book). But when I saw the pattern by Julie Taylor on Craftsy, I had to buy it to support a fellow knitter, especially since she allows knitters to sell products using her patterns. (Thanks Julie!) Her pattern was in wool, but I changed the yarn to cotton & adjusted the gauge accordingly. 

You knitters can buy her pattern on Craftsy.com. 

If you are not a knitter, these are are in store now at Rexer-Parkes in Huntington NY. : )   Or you can always contact me and I can make them in custom colors for you. SO MUCH FUN to play with color! 


Don't fret if you don't live near Huntington. 

Just call Rexer-Parkes and they can ship them right out to you. (631) 549-1810.

I think we need a girlie option...maybe hot pink and lime? hmmm. What do you think? What colors would you like to see?

    I think hot pink and lime is a great color combo! You know how your sister loves her bright neon colors! ;)

  2. I think the yellow trimmed with gray is such an excellent way of illuminating a rainy day! Your knit is always perfect.
    It was nice to read your background too. No wonder how how talented you are!
