	Glow in the Dark... Yarn!...just the right weight to use as an accent in socks. The sock at your left was designed using Sole Solution (except for the heel, which is a future addition to the program). This sock was knitted using GITW yarn, Special Blauband and Baby Ull. I wish my camera could show you how cool the sock looks in the dark!
	Salsa Sox Isn't Opal Mexiko wild?? The pattern is continued down the heel (for my clogs). I also included a shaped arch on this one.
	Another fun yarn...Opal Tiger! This is a Top Down sock with 3 x 1 rib, flap heel, standard toe designed with SS too.
	These socks were an experiement in dying. The yarn was white Silja. I used Country Classic acid dyes.
	These are one of my favorites. Entrelac socks using Koigu and Cotton 8 yarn.

	Chaotic Cable Sox Pattern This sock was knit in fingering weight yarn (Special Blauband). The stitch pattern includes two of my favorite techniques...lace and cables.
	Socks with Toes Made with Opal sock yarn.
	Coat Hanger Sock Blockers - Really easy and inexpensive! I used rubberized coat hangers from Wal-Mart. Great for drying hand-knit socks when you aren't comfortable putting them in the dryer. I hand shape the coat hanger to the general shape of my sock then I insert the hanger into a sock and finish shaping. The blocker doesn't stretch the sock, it just gently holds it for drying and photos! See more details.
	Felted Slipper Bottoms. Try Plasti Dip Flexible Rubber Coating - Claims it won't crack, chip or peel! Purchased from Home Depot. I used a paint brush and painted it on the bottoms and sides (about 3/4") of the slippers. Please: No abuse on the color or shape of these slippers<grin>! I am really pleased with the Plasti-Dip. My slippers feel very stable and the Plasti-Dip hasn't flaked or peeled. Unlike some fabric paints, it is comfortable to walk on.
