I just finished this baby ugg bootie. Yes just one because it looks super cute, but what you cannot tell from this picture is how big this bootie is. Angus would have a club of a foot to fit.
My problem is gauge. I knit loose so my project always end up larger than the pattern calls for and I am lazy not doing a gauge sample. So it is my own fault. The question: should I make another CLUB ugg (maybe Angus will have one club foot and one regular) or just start a new one with smaller needles?I got this pattern from ravelry.com and here is what a completed set looks like:
I aspire to be a good knitter...The pattern so I can make the second bootie
