Today we knit super-fast little Autumn booties for a baby. We chose Merino Soft by Scheepjeswol for the booties, because there are so many beautiful colors in this collection and because the wool is a mixture of wool, acrylic and micro, making it wonderfully soft but also washable. The colors have names of famous painters and we think that is quite right! With this wool and needles 4 or 5 the booties are quickly made. So baby will have lovely warm feet, in the fall and winter!
 
The rust coloured wool is called Dali but we also bought Renoir (jade green) for the fall. At the same time our brain is running at full speed to think of a reason why we really should also buy Turner and Vermeer or rather Giotto and Magrite or maybe Soutine? All beautiful shades of blue, also a favorite colour of ours! Preferably we buy all colours because you just want to knit something, when you see this wool!
