The Harry Potter Saga Continues…

My favorite part of the sock–and the most fun to knit. It could be rolled down if one wanted to put several rows of garter stitch before beginning the cuff.

I have slaved away at this new sock design for two weeks too long, now. It has become something I think, eat, sleep, and dream about.

It was not supposed to be as hard as I have made it, but that\’s how I seem to do everything, so maybe the process cannot be helped.  And hopefully the work is paying off.

I have a few preview pictures of the first completed sock, so any feedback will be helpful.

This toe-up pattern consists of a front and back matching pattern with a ribbed separation between the F/B pattern and the sides, which are zigzags.

The crowning piece of this sock is the top, meant to resemble a castle turret, not unlike one that may be found at Howwart\’s. It is knitted continously with the leg of the sock at the end.

There will be a few charts for this sock. Here is one rough draft:

If you can figure this out, go ahead and knit away. I won\’t chase you : ) The complete pattern will be out as soon as possible on Ravelry, along with a pdf for the Fountains of Portland pattern. (No, I haven\’t forgotten that one)

As for my \”We\’re Still Wild About Harry\” sock, here are a few pics of the roughly finished product.



Lightning Bolt motif runs down the front and back of the sock



 

 Happiest of knitting to you all. Wish sometimes I could do it like Mrs. Weasley. On with the rest!
