What loom are you using for baby booties? Right now I only have several KK
looms, but I'm looking at the one that was posted earlier. I would love to
learn also, would you be willing to give me a quick lesson too please?
Smiles.

Hi Jo,

One day when you just want to kick back for a bit, we can get on the phone
and I can talk you through the very easy short row baby booties.  Once you
see how easy they are, they will be the first pattern you go to when doing
baby booties.  LOL
