You know me, I love shoes no matter how tiny, so I couldn't resist knitting a pair of booties. For a change of pace, I decided to steer away from the old stand-by and test drive a new bootie pattern. 
Lucas BootiesPattern: Boy's and Girl's Booties from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms by Louisa Harding
Yarn: Pakucho Organic Cotton in Chocolate - less than 1 skein for both booties
Needles: US6
These are so cute and I like that it has the drawstring around the ankle for added security (theoretically - I'll have to get back to you on that).
And far be it from me to cover a person's feet without regard for their head, so here's to another favorite accessory of mine- hats! I whipped up this little thing in no time. I just love the stripes!
Lucas BeaniePattern: Beanie Hat from Natural Knits for Babies and Moms by Louisa Harding
Yarn: Pakucho Organic Cotton in Natural and Chocolate- less than 1 skein of each
Needles: US5 and US7
This was my first time working with the Pakucho, but it won't be my last. It's a really good cotton yarn, and of course I love that it's organic.
I'm sorry, but I am a sucker for cute, little baby knits. I may have found my calling...

Those really are cute and I love those pics, especially the last one. Good visual use of space!
What's not to love? Cute little knits always tug at my heart. I love the non-traditional colors you chose for these. :)
Awwwww. Yeah, I am with you on the cute factor of baby knits. That is an adorable set.
I may need to pick up that pattern book. I'm a lucky mom-to-be and I am knitting like a maniac over here!
I Love LOVE the booties and the hat, you did a great job!
Ridiculously CUTE!!!! Love the colors too, reminds me of those Foremost ice cream cups with the swirl of chocolate :)
ooh, i love pakucho too! great booties - it must be bootie week!
Nothing wrong with cute, that's for sure.
oooooooh, baby sized stuff is just too cute for words.
So freakin' cute!
so sweet! i really like the natural palette too. baby will look so precious!
super cute! i know mommy will love them!
I llllove those booties!! I wish I had babies to knit for.
The booties and hat are so cute, and I love that you made them in chocolate and natural organic cotton (as opposed to, say, pink or blue acrylic). I just used some Pakucho for the first time, and I love it, too!
So darn cute, I can hardly stand it!
those are way too cute. Its nice to be surrounded with little one's to make things for.
Ha! I love that last pic!
And now, for the most original comment ever:
