[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Crocheted booties was Successful Saturday

Tue Jan 13 16:23:01 UTC 2026

It was a You Tube video, but she made lots of errors.  I rewrote the pattern. When my son was little and I really didn’t know much about crocheting, a friend and I learned how to make booties.  We made booties for preemies at the hospital.  I made 32 pair that year.  I had to learn basic stitches, as I only knew how to do a single crochet.  I would love to teach a class, just don’t know when.  I am super busy with life, especially since they are living here now. 😊

I’d be interested in learning to crochet booties, too.  It would help me get good at changing colors in crochet.  I don’t have a baby to give them to, but I know a local charity that could find them a good home.

Jdid you make the pattern up or did you get it from a website? I would love to learn how to make items like that. Can you share and teach us how to do it too?

Thanks naima

Honestly, I don’t do blankets, as I think they are too boring! 😉

My Saturday project is crocheted Nike booties.  They are pink, with a black sole and a black Nike swoosh.  The tongue is sparkly white.  They are for my 3 month old granddaughter.

Good Morning Jolene, what is color chunking please? I am more than willing to have a go at making a blanket on the loom with you. I have a 5/8 inch large gauge loom that has over 100 pegs on it that is made for blankets or afghans that is saying “Let’s have a go with me.” Let me know!

It’s Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you.

I finished the sweater I’ve been working on since August!  Yay!  And it’s really nice.  If we had an Instagram, I’d post a picture. 

It’s the Lion Brand Tree of Life Cardigan pattern, with some modifications by me.  It has 2 intertwined trees on each side of the front, and I added a simpler tree pattern on the upper sleeves.  It’s chestnut-colored, a rich reddish-brown.  It fits great, and I think it will be cozy. 

I made it with Knitpicks High Desert Tweed, an all-American-made wool.  It’s really nice yarn. It’s smooth, doesn’t split easily, and firm but soft.

I’m really pleased with how my project came out.

Tracy
