Baby Cap and Booties

A weird thing happened last month.  Someone on Facebook asked me to make a baby cap and booties for her niece who is arriving in June.  Nothing strange about that, but it's someone I'm not too sure how I know.  I don't know her in the real world.  She also follows me on Twitter and comments on a few of the knitting projects I'd like to make.  She offered to pay me for the yarn I purchased, but as I have yarn everywhere in my house I told her I probably had something around here and she could pay me for the cost of the yarn.  I found 4 skeins of sinfonia yarn in lilac and one in cream so I used that.  Out of one skein I made 2 caps and a pair of booties and the little flowers

So I chose this pattern from Garnstudio.com for the cap and this one for solid lilac booties with some cream picot crochet trim. Sorry I don't have a cute baby to use as a model.  You will just have to make do with my hand :)
