Success! I have finished the first massively huge man bootie!

Does it not fit well? Does the toe not look nice?

But, wait! Who is modeling the bootie? It is my Kevin! Here is the conversation we had during the bootie fitting.

Gail: You have like a size 10 wide foot, right? I’m sure it’ll stretch more.
Kevin: No, its 8 wide.
Gail: Hrm. That bootie looks like it fits you.
Kevin: Chris has like a size 14 foot, doesn’t he?

So, now Kevin has a bootie. Given that I knitted almost the entire bootie in his presence, I think he used mind control rays to make me knit a size 8 wide bootie instead of a size 12 EEEE bootie.

Kevin thinks, and I quote “You can knit. I’m just not sure you can add.”

He is lucky that he is the bestest boyfriend ever and taking me to Las Vegas next week, otherwise I’d have to smack him.

I don’t think we can blame Lucia’s bootie generator. I think I’m just plugging the wrong measurements into it. I’ve commanded Kevin to make his brother measure his foot. And this time, I’m knitting it out of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted, not Sport. Mainly so it’ll go faster.

Plus, I needed an excuse to buy yarn at Loopy Yarns, since I was meeting Lynette there over lunch. I was a good girl – I bought a skein of the worsted in the Jeans colorway, and two skeins of Smart Superwash, which is an all purpose worsted from Norway. Oh, and the Celtic Braid Socks pattern from Cabin Fever.
