You've all heard of bobby socks; well, this is booby socks! Besides making you smile, or even giggle, there is a purpose for this sock. It is to give awareness to breast cancer. Along with keeping your feet warm, the booby socks will give you a gentle reminder to do your monthly self-breast exams and to get that annual mammogram!
The booby sock has several features - a cabled cuff, 4 different pattern bands and a star toe.
Some info on these choices:
1st pattern band represents our tireless, unending footsteps to raise money to help find a cure.
2nd pattern band represents the pink ribbon which is known internationally as a symbol to help raise awareness of breast cancer.
3rd pattern band represents a pair of breasts. (okay, you gotta stretch the imagination a tad here!)
4th pattern band represents a pair of mammogrammed breasts. (there's a giggle!)
A star toe was used since every woman is a star! And yes, the toe is anatomically correct! The model shown was knitted with Lorna's Laces pink sock yarn.All the profits of your purchase price will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for Breast Cancer Research. We are creeping up on the $50,000 mark!!! This is the pattern you are purchasing, not the socks :) Pattern will be sent to you as a pdf download.
