The Booby Sock
ALL MONIES from this pattern are sent to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research. Skacel had a special pink yarn dyed kitted The Booby Sock and raised $50,000 for Susan G. Komen!!! All 2,500 kits are sold out!
Since all the Pink Ribbon is sold out, any pink fingering sock yarn will do :)
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 pattern is still available in hard copy or pdf form. To date we have raised over $52,000to help cure/prevent breast cancer. This is the first in the Series of Hope Socks!
Coming soon, The “Egg-stra” Special Sock which will support ovarian cancer research!
