Sunday, February 21

around 2001, Bethany Lankin created & posted this pattern
for a pair of St Patrick's Day Sock
she even tells what the patterns represent
however, the pattern is NO longer available
So, I bought the pattern from her when i was in Indy
3 years ago - can't find it NOW

today i found the copy i printed off the web a while ago
it's missing the chain pattern above the toes and the snake pattern - so today i played with the wayback machine & i FINDED the pattern :)
glad i found it on the web so I can NOW make the
sock as she designed it
yeah, i will probably knit it in oatmeal, but i don't think
i want worsted / sport weight sox

Sharon knit a pair for her friend Kath
her pattern is slightly different

pop tab purses

a few years ago, when i was still in Indy (or maybe Fort Wayne) i planned on making one of these. I am sure Debbie Barisa had a hand in getting me to try to make one. After i became a Flight Attendant, i kept saying i would try. Moved to Atlanta where clutches are sold @ the Coca Cola Museum. tried to make one - think i would be better to do it in crochet OR wire - to simulate chain mail ..

there are some websites up now that were NOT up when i first got the idea

1 purse

mostly crocheted

how to crochet one

chain mail - very kewl

IF i make another - it will be more along the line of chain mail than knit

coca cola clutch
