When I set out to design a Buffy sock I had a very _ . different vision to the one I finished up with . I started off think about all the things that represented The Slayer, stakes, crosses, crossbows... but then suddenly I though "What would Buffy wear?" She was after all a cheerleader long before she be- came the nemesis of all things evil in Sunnydale . So I decided to knit something girly, with lace and beads that she could wear around the house when she wasn't fighting the bad guys Gauge: 8sts to 1 inch on $\scriptstyle2.5\mathsf{m m}$ Dpns Top down with a garter st short row heel the beads are added to the lace using the crochet hook method Materials: 100g of fingering weight yarn US 1 (2.5mm )dpns Stitch marker Approx 40 no 8 seed beads If you have any problems with the pattern do not hesitate to contact me and I will see what I can do to help you. Like wise if you should find any errors in the pattern please let me know so that I can correct them JANINELE CRAS EMAIL:JANINE@CWGSY.NET RAVELRY: GUERNSEYGAL BLOG: HTTP://GUERNSEYGAL.TYPEPAD.COM/
