Hi! I'm Lauren: college-educated mom to Harper (and soon-to-be Ezra!) who gave up career life to sew, knit, sing nursery rhymes and watch Yo Gabba Gabba a dozen times a day. Most days, I love it. My husband Scott and I live with our kid(s) and two insanely dumb cats in Salt Lake City, Utah. 
The Tiny Dancer Slippers pattern is finally here!
These adorable shoes are simple and fast to knit. In fact, you can finish a pair in a couple hours – even if you’re a beginner! There are loads of options for customization and embellishment, and they come in sizes 0-3 to fit newborns through one-year-old babies.
