Here are the Bearfoot socks :)

Specs:
Mountain Colors Bearfoor yarn, colour "Crazy Woman". The pattern is Purl Lace Socks from Socks, Socks, Socks.
I love the Bearfoot, and I can see many more socks made of this in my future. It's a nice soft, thick yarn, and the resulting socks are warm and comfy.

The hat is done, too :)
After the red garter bit, you change colour, and before the stocking stitch part, there is a small rib portion to help the hat fit better. How clever! When the hat is complete, the rib part is hidden behind the band.

But I finished the hat not half an hour ago.

I'm pleased with it :) I used all the ends from the start to attach the i-cord edging. Now I'm going to do the matching bootees. I seem to be on a small project kick right now.

Em is always working on her flexibility. She's pretty good, but she'd like to learn acrobatics. There isn't anywhere close by us that I can find, so she just stretches at dance class and at home.
She is now able to put her feet either side of her head. I hurt just watching :)

Even when I was a young thing I couldn't get my feet up there! I couldn't even do the splits even though I practiced a lot! I love the Mountain Color socks. They're wonderful!
