I adore Cookie's sock patterns! I just have to get up the nerve to try one =D
I really like the model you used to display your talented hat creation. By the way that is really a nice hat. I like the beads too.
I recognize those hairy legs wearing those nice wool socks. Boy "Pub Hair" I mean, "Poo Bear" has really grown up.
I'm very proud of you Rachel
Love your blog. Made me smile first thing ... you are hysterical!
