These socks were knit from my own pattern, which I really don't consider a complete success. I was trying to design something that would work well with handpainted yarns, but I didn't really achieve my desired effect. The stitch pattern I used (I thought it was "Checkered Acre" from Barbara Walker's first stitch dictionary, but upon closer inspection, it's not, so I don't know what the stitch pattern is, except something that I jumbled up) is highly textured. For this reason, I kept the patterning on the leg only, and went with a 3x3 ribbing on the foot. Otherwise, I think the socks would have been terribly uncomfortable in shoes.

Shoe: Look at me. Am I not wonderful?
Lady: You are the most wonderful shoe in the world. I fall to my knees and weep with pleasure when I am with you.
Pause
Lady: You are BEAUTY, you are truth. In you I find my SALVATION.
Shoe: Thank you. You are a nice lady.

Over 70 years ago Dorothy tapped the heels of these shoes together and returned to Kansas from OZ
The ruby slippers are the shoes worn by Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz. Because of their iconic stature, they are now among the most treasured and valuable of film memorabilia. As was customary for important props, a number of pairs were made for the film, though the exact number is unknown. Five pairs are known to have survived; one pair was stolen in 2005 and has never been recovered
June 10th (Judy Garland's birthday) the retro characters first made a comeback to Land of Oz since 1975. Costumes made by Billy Ferguson.

Please don't feel obligated to comment on all these shots. They are just fun shots to look at and enjoy.
Chesterton Indiana hosted the Wizard of Oz Fest and Parade. Less than an hour away so we headed out to shoot some photos.
She was NOT in trouble! After I took the photo, I asked her why she was there...she said she was tired and "no one can see me here."
You can never have too many pairs of shoes! All wardrobes should include a magical pair such as Ruby Slippers to take you to OZ and of course those fabulous pink ballet pumps for partying the night away, go on ... ‘Put on your dancing shoes!’
They disappeared for a while - but they're back again with an all new cast.
Not sure if these red boots came from the artist or if someone in the neighborhood added them after the fact.
This may be one of my all-time favorite pics inside the van. Why I never saw this angle before... I do not know. I think it is all the shoes.
