I hate seaming...

I have had these Erika Knight booties knit forever but had to seam up the sides and bottom. Her designs are so classic and simple and easy for beginners to knit because they're usually knit in one flat piece...but then seamed. I guess I'd be willing to sacrifice a little fussiness as far as construction to avoid seaming.

This is another pair of Erika Knight booties I just finished. I've been sick with swollen tonsils and sitting in my chair a lot. I knit a pair just like this for my friend Rachel last year. Both of these booties were knit out of Rowan Tapestry yarn. I just love working with it and how it gradually changes color.


To look at these finished booties, you'd never think they looked like THIS just a short time ago! This is what I mean when I say I hate seaming. Sorting out all those tails and junk at the end.
