Peek-a-Boo Sox for Deb

Originally

this sock pattern was created in

Summer of 2003 using Cotton Fine & it had

an Afterthought Heel.

It was called Airy Ankle Skimmers.

Changes were made Fall 2003 when it became a full

legnth sock and was called Peek-a-Boo

The sock pattern was changed again

in Feb 2007, to include a traditional heel

and 2 sox on 2 circs directions

for the Deb Brown for

International Tote Exchange 3
