If you are buying socks, start small. Even toddler socks expand quite well when filled with stuffing. Have fun collecting different prints, patterns and colors of socks for your dolls. Single sock dolls can be created by cutting the fabric off the toe.
Wrightsocks ($10 per pair), available at West Seattle Runner, are double-layer socks that minimize friction on your feet by accounting for it within the fabric layers. In addition to guarding against foot irritation and chafing, the Dri-WRIGHT base
Loafers, preferably without the penny pocket, are also hot in shiny or distressed leather and worn without socks, often with more exaggerated higher hem on the cuff for true fashion rebels. Men can breath a bit easier as the skinny jeans and suit pant
Argyles are less symmetrical and seen more as an abstract style element in sweater vests, socks and caps, stripes are larger and bold in contrasting hues and then there's plaid. Rather than the wide style in browns and oranges of the late '70s,

First of all, let me greatly apologize for the very long blog abscence. There has been a lot of things happening around our neck of the woods that either, good or bad, have kept me away from photographing, blogging, or sharing words.
Secondly, I know that there has been a slight demand for a hat pattern and, sadly to say, my computer sucks and ate the majority of my documents/notes through a major upgrade! (Currently looking into a MAC……actually really looking into a MAC!!!!)
To start off, the Chunky Brimster ( going on my very vague rememberance of what I did exactly ) on the hat and work short rows until I was happy with it. Picture the beginning of a toe-up sock but instead smooshed and stitched to the front of a basic beanie/hat pattern. It really is easy and, for those that know how to do short rows, should be fairly simple ( I believe for a chunky weight yarn I casted on 28-30 sts and worked short rows until I had 8-9 live stitches then worked back picking up my wrapped stitches. If you do not know how to work short rows, I highly recommend you learn because it is a skill that comes in handy rather working socks or adding a few extra rows to the collar of a sweater, the body of a hat…as seen on Melissa’s hat , or to the bust section of a sweater. Please believe me that when I say a self-taught knitter such as myself can learn short rows….anybody can learn short rows…YouTube it and you’ll find lots of helpful resources! And yes, I did hack off all my hair…..part of living with the Ohio Summer humidity/wavy thick mess I have.
On the upside of everything, the girlies and I have been enjoying our Summer with graduation parties, swimming, visiting friends, and relaxing with our days.
