Summer of Socks Pair 6

This is my 6th pair of socks for Summer of Socks 2008. Basic sock pattern and fancy self-stripe yarn. Love the Black and Pink.

5th SOS08 Socks

Here is my 5th pair for SOS08. The pattern is Jaywalkers. It is a nice zigzag pattern. It does not show up very well in this picture but I made them for someone so I did not want to put them on my big old sweaty feet to model them. If I can get Katie to model I will put in a better picture. I used Knit Picks Felici in Mixed Berries. This pattern is fun and easy and looks great in self-stripe yarn.

First Crochet Hat EVER!!!

I crocheted this cute hat for a crochet along on Ravelry. I don't usually crochet but it was just so cute. I made this for a friend. Now I want one. Since I shaved my head I have been looking at more hat patterns. It gets cold in Utah.

Orange You Hedera?

So here is my 4th pair for Summer of Socks 2008. The pattern is Hedera by Cookie A. I made them from Knit Picks Palette yarn in Apricot. They are very orangey. I think they are great. The lace pattern looks difficult but it was really easy.

Hair Issues

I have been wearing a hair "system" for years. They put it on and once a month I would go in, have it removed, cleaned and styled. In between I would shampoo it and all but it would get itchy and start to get loose. Sometimes I would have to retape the front. Well I did this because my hair was really thin. But I had been thinking that it was just too much work and I was not that good at styling it anyway. So I bought a wig and shaved my head!! I like it. I will wear the wig to work. It is really cute but I don't mind going bald. Just a couple of years ago I never would have thought if going bald. My how we change.

Third SOS08 Pair Finished

This is my third pair of socks for Summer of Socks 2008. I had not used this brand (ONline) before but I really enjoyed it and it was easy to line up the colors so the socks match pretty well. I am really enjoying this SOS thing. I know I will do it next year.

Monkeys!!!!

I finished the Monkeys for Summer of Socks 2008. I just love this pattern by Cookie A. I found it on Ravelry.com. It such an easy pattern but it is really pretty.
