Here is a pic of some of the undergrowth outside my cabin door; this forest is very green and full of ferns and moss. This northern rain forest I am currently living in--THE TONGASS NATIONAL FOREST--was the inspiration for these baby booties...
Knit in hand dyed wool and brown angora...they are soft and fuzzy to keep tiny feet warm and comfy.
I have knit scores of booties from this pattern and all the Mom's tell me they love these baby booties because they are the only ones they have to stay on...the I-cord ties really do work."Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either." ---Elizabeth Zimmerman
Well these are just way to cute and I can see how the rain forest inspiration spoke to you. Love the deep tone of brown, very fertile looking ;)

Those adorable booties look so comfy I want to put them on my feet. And it's 101 degrees here! Love the connection to the forest.
