Baby Booties And Ribbon Color



Maureen has received an order for a pair of baby booties. She knitted a pair, gorgeous. Since the gender of the baby is unknown, she put on neutral white ribbons.



The intended recipient of the baby booties is an Asian family. In Asian culture white is not considered as a color of celebration, red is considered as good luck and a color of celebration.

Red ribbons signify luck and happiness so Maureen changes the ribbons from white to bright red. Don't the booties with red ribbons look warmer and happier?

    I like the red much better. It brings out the warmth of the color in the wool.
