This little girl likes to dress up - here she is dressed as Dorothy (note Toto in the picnic basket)
The ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz. They were originally silver but were dyed to "show off" the new invention of Technicolor.
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!’
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.
Yarn: Blue Moon Fiber Arts Socks that Rock lightweight in Ruby Slippers

My stuffies all decked out for Halloween! Too cute... From left to right, Ru (pronounced "Roo") as an Army Soldier, Cleo as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz (complete with Toto in basket and ruby slippers lol), and Raja as Tigger, hoo-hoo!!! lol. Growlers, not wanting to be left out, also snuck into the picture. Little devil... :)
I wanted to talk to her, but then some weirdo in a prom dress floated up in a glass bubble and monopolized the conversation.
The 3 Witches of OZ all in one costume. Won most Original Costume.
You know, PINK is this year's BLACK.
