I also have a 9-year-old granddaughter who’s bound to want me to whip her up some of the funky knitting projects I’ve been collecting. So, I should be kept pretty busy — think of all those kilojoules I’ll be burning!

I picked up the free pattern for these quick-to-knit cute bootees from Lincraft this week — thank goodness they have re-opened a store in the Sydney CBD (QVB Building, under the Supre store on the corner of Market and George Streets). I’ve been suffering withdrawal symptoms since the Imperial Arcade closed down.

Oh-so-cute and fluffy bootees that take no time to knit.

The bootees only take one ball of Lincraft Flutter yarn, which only costs $1.29 a ball. If you don’t have a Lincraft store nearby, you can download the pattern here and buy the yarn online here. Alternatively, you can substitute Patons Feathers yarn for Flutter.
