When a blog friend asks you to knit something for her because she has this idea...I was thrilled to be in on the adventure!
Benita is writing a series of patterns based on the inspiration of geography or travel.
This is the inside of the sock when I was finished with knitting. The 'weaving in the ends' thing is a very relaxing part of the process; the wool holds on to itself and makes a very neat looking inside.
I put them in to soak, and then laid them out to block!
The little ends go outside for the birds!
I placed these on my sock blockers and let them dry. She has the pattern available on her
website and on
Ravelry as pattern or a kit. Ramp up your sock skills with this Trip up the Nile sock!!
This is the view from the front.
Thank you , Benita, for letting me be a part of this adventure! Where do we go next?!
Are you kidding? I am soooo happy you are along for the journey.
ReplyDeleteLet's see... Where to go to next? Let's get to the end of the drive and flip a coin on whether to go right or left. :)
Now that is one very interesting and intriguing pair of socks! Putting you ends out for the birds? Waht a clever idea!
ReplyDeletevery exotic looking socks - I am sure the knitting was fun! you could combine shadow knitting with socks:) I did a pair for DS, but I have to admit that the griffin on the leg wasn't easy to see - only when you lay them flat out.... what comes next?
ReplyDeleteThose socks are so awesome. Were they hard to knit? I
ReplyDeletem tempted to order the kit, and I hate knitting socks!
I think the word awesome but can't think of another one to say. The socks are just that AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Fascinating design, as always.
ReplyDeleteBenita is doing a giveaway of this kit on dyed in the wool. Thats a lot of ends to weave! I would rather win the ones you already knit up.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! These are gorgeous!!
