Knitting Project: Baby Slipper Sandals

I finally completed the sandals I was knitting for my new niece last night. They knit up pretty quickly, even with all the turning and picking up stitches. The thing that took the longest was sewing on the last button!

They're from the Baby Cashmerino book by Debbie Bliss. I opted for a similar, machine washable yarn instead of Baby Cashmerino, as exquisite as those colors are. Still, this pink is cute enough.

Now my niece just needs to age a bit to grow into them. And it would be great if her right foot happens to end up slightly longer than her left.
