Fair enough.<\/p>\n<p>So I got some yarn in time for the trip to Hawaii, think\u00ading it would be a good chance to get some knit\u00adting in. I tried two pat\u00adterns, one from a book of my great-aunt\u2019s, and one <a href=\"http:\/\/megan.kiwi.gen.nz\/SeamlessBootee\/seamlessCableBootee.html\">on the web<\/a>; I pre\u00adferred the web pat\u00adtern (they\u2019re the bootees on the right). Once the baby arrived of course, we redis\u00adcovered why we had\u00adn\u2019t used the bootees we had with our first child; they don\u2019t stay on the feet! Socks or out\u00adfits with feet built-in are much more prac\u00adtic\u00adal.
