Written by Marie from The Knitting Times. Our posts contain affiliate links. I recently designed this pair of very cute and incredibly fast to knit baby booties. Being a huge fan of knitting with chunky yarn, I wanted to create some booties that could be whipped up easily whilst watching tv. Chunky yarn is of course very warm and cosy and so these little booties are ideal for winter babies, as well as being an ideal project when you don't want to concentrate too hard....

Written by: Marie. Photo: Adobe Stock. Article may contain affiliate links. I was scrolling through social media the other day and noticed a thread about whether or not you should knit for newborn babies in pure 100% wool yarn. Specifically, the conversation was about hats, cardigans and blankets that knitters kindly donate to hospital wards. Many of the knitted baby clothes are premature or tiny baby sized and are used in maternity hospitals for surprise births, where parents may not be equipped at that time....

Well it is New Year as I write this article, and the time when so many of us knitters, crocheters and drafters declare that we won't buy any new yarn until we have used up our existing stash. However, such a resolution is atually completely boring. Buying yarn is after all a complete hobby in itself. It is so wonderfully soft and squishy, and not buying new balls and skeins can be a tad depressing....

If you are a fan of Malbrigo yarn, you will know that while a tad expensive, it is the most beautiful, colourful, soft, squishy yarn to work with.
