here are some ducky-feet booties that i made for the imminent baby of tamsin, whom i work with. i am feeling a personal connection with the baby's feet, since i think that is what i felt swishing past my hand when i was feeling for it on friday. it sort of glided over my palm, like a big fish glides by the window in an aquarium.
these booties are from that new book, it's got "baby booties" and "fifty" in the title, and they definitely sell it at borders, which is that bookstore where they don't even look at you askance if you are sitting there with an open notebook and a pen and a book you don't plan to buy, making copious notes. in fact they even provide a chair for you. i think i've said enough.
these booties are oversized in that they would fit on a 3 to 6 month-old's feet, but will look large -- more in proportion to a duck. it would be a recipe for disaster to let a baby who was learning to walk try to wear them. they are for non-walkers, babies whose feet are just sticking up into the air, complete cuteness-exploitation booties.
