Beautiful Baby Shoes (Annie's Attic) Paperback – April 23, 2010

I bought this to make most of the girly booties to decorate the table for a baby shower. The shower honoree is into fashion trends, so I think these are more suitable for her than the old-fashioned types. Having a child myself, I know babies rarely keep anything on their feet for long, so I'm not expecting the baby to actually wear them, but I think they will look really cute on the table. Plus, the kimono shoes have an interesting technique, which I don't feel was explained very clearly - but to be fair, I couldn't think of a better way to explain it myself. It just took some figuring out.

The booties are cute and easy to make. I will personalize them for the little one they are going to. You can let your imagination fly. Quick and easy little shoes.

I have made a few pair of these shoes for gifts and I have to say,they came out as beautiful as the book says. I will be spending more time making these shoes in many colors. Very easy to read patterns with good results.

Definitely not for a beginner. The baby shoes are made with a variety of yarn weights...baby, sport and worsted. This is nice, since you can make various sizes, following the same instructions. I expected all of the patterns to be worked in worsted weight, as they were in the previous book, Baby Bootie Boutique. This item was eligible for the Super Saver shipping, so I was able to avoid paying the $7.00 shipping, if ordered directly from Annie's Attic. If you enjoy a challenge, this book is for you.

So many darling patterns to choose from that it is hard to know where to start. This will keep me busy for a few weeks.

I normaly would not buy a book for crocheting baby items, however, my cousin is having a baby and thought I would try my luck at this. The book is really colorful and the patterns seem simple enough

This book was a big helpOn making new projects

I found the instructions very hard to follow as they are so different from Canadian instructions. The shoes were not turning out as expected.The $44.00 shipping for a small $4.00 book is totally outrageous. Yes I said $44.00 and it took over 3 weeks to arrive
