The first Miss Babs Outing is a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! Our brilliant tour guide has designed a knee sock pattern reminiscent of the designs found in New Orleans’ French Quarter.

I’m a Southern girl, and one of the coolest things about Southern men is their ability to wear a seersucker suit. Summertime in New Orleans can be pretty hot, and seersucker is a staple of our wardrobes down here. In my family, we all have some to try and keep cool, and fashionable, in the heat and humidity!

Lake Tahoe is one of my favorite places on earth. The rippling of the blue waters in an alpine environment is my idea of heaven. When I found a skein of Miss Bab’s Yummy 2-ply in my stash in a Lake Tahoe colorway, I knew I needed to use it to capture the beauty of my beloved lake!

This pattern represents the Fourth Stage of Tour-de-Sock 2012. Proceeds from its sale will be donated to Doctors without Borders.
