The Bewb Project

So, what is the Bewb Project? From their website:

"Welome to the Bewb Project!
How it works: From now until the end of October 2019 The yarns in this collection will be sold with a portion of proceeds going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  To make it a bit more fun for everyone I'll be asking that you share your finished objects created with any of these yarns with me via email between now and October. Each finished object you share with me will get your name thrown in a hat for a chance to win a $50.00 Gift Certificate for this website. Also if you are on instagram we'll be using the #TheBewbProject hashtag to see what everyone is up to with their beautiful bewbie yarns! You may email me at:
WhimsicalWoodYarn@gmail.com with photos of your projects. be sure to include the pattern you used to create your lovelies.
Why Bewb and not Boob? Simply because Bewb is fun to say and Boob is overdone. We want to draw attention, raise awareness (and a few bucks) and have a good time doing it! So knit those bewbie hats and bewbie shawls with pride!
Drawing Winners will be announced at the end of October!
Knit All the Bewbie things!
Hugs and love and all the shit from the enchanted forest!"

I chose to pick up F**k Cancer 4.0 Bewbs plus the pom pom and went to Ravelry and downloaded The Bewb Project Sock Head Hat pattern. I then knit an awesome slouchy hat for my oldest, which I am modeling below.

Owl Tracks Socks

So, I started a pair of socks at Pennsic War. I had hoped to get them finished there, but that didn't happen. On top of not getting them done while on vacation, I managed to somehow mess up the sock I did complete. See image below.


As you can see, I somehow managed to make decapatated owls on the first sock. I also dislike the cuff from the pattern as it kept rolling down. After finishing the second sock, I ripped out the owls of the first one and redid them. I also changed the beads used for the eyes. Now, both socks are finished, and I am much happier with them.







I cannot wait for them to dry so I can try them on! Here is a link to the pattern, Owl Track Socks.
