Powder 8 Socks

From re-designs to ripping apart to lost socks, these have been a long time coming. I finally posted the Powder 8 Socks pattern to Ravelry.



The spiel:

Whether you’re braving the winter weather or curled up with a warm drink après ski, the Powder 8 socks are the perfect knit to keep your feet nice and warm. Inspired by the tracks that two skiers make when their lines cross in pristine powder, the cables travel down the Balbriggan style heel and across the ‘slopes’ to your toes.

Our furry friends give us a lot (including some of our yarn!) and sometimes we need to give back – all proceeds from this pattern will be donated to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (http://www.aspca.org/).

If you're interested, you can buy now or check out the pattern on Ravelry.

  1. Really nice! I love how simple but effective the cable pattern is - and a great cause too. :)

  2. I really like how you've had the cable grow out of (or into) the ribbing. Very clever construction!

  3. I like the ski reference. It totally fits the design. Such a great cause, too.

  6. Great job! I would love to buy the pattern but it doesn't give me that option on Ravelry(?).

    I mean, anything for the ASPCA!

  10. Thank you for finishing the pattern for this one human being :) Might finally get me out of my knitting funk since socks are much faster than these huge baby blankets I've been at for a while!
