booties and halter top

On my trip to Michigan last weekend I accomplished quite a bit of knitting! First I made this pair of booties for a friend's baby who was born at the end of March and I had been putting it off for a while.














Then I worked on my halter top project. I decided to use this Bettina yarn by Adrienne Vittadini. It has linen paper spun into it. The pattern is based off of the Sexie halter top pattern in the Stitch n Bitch Nation book with some modifications. I decided not to do the eyelet pattern in the back part, just ribbing, and I didn't want it to be too low cut, plus I made the straps wider, AND it won't lace up in the back.......... i hope it fits! who knows. It could be another one of my crazy projects... Here is also a close up shot of the yarn itself. I still have two skeins left so I might go buy a third one and make a halter top for my sister.
