So Naomi's printer has stopped working. She brought it out for my husband to look at. When plugged in, some lights flashed and it made printerly noises. But no printing was happening. They fooled around with the settings and looked all around. No printing.
"Wait," said Naomi, "Is there something in here?" She reaches in. "Is that a baby bootie?" She pulls out a handmade baby bootie from inside the printer.
Naomi is the person in our family named, authorized and able to make the special baby booties previously made by her grandmother and great grandmother. She makes them and we give them away to any new baby we hear about.
But the baby booties are NOT supposed to be inside the printer. This caused the printer parts to seize in whatever ways machinery do when there are errant hand-knit baby booties present.
The printer--trashed by a baby bootie.
"I wondered where that baby bootie went," mumbled Naomi.
An extreme closeup of the perp baby bootie.

Thank-your for the good laugh. Just imagine what might happen if you tackled the complete layette! First the printer - tomorrow the world!
Any change you will post the bonnet and sweater pattern for us?
