First of the Sock Tributes II ebook. 5 more designs will be added in the next year!

A sock series inspired by those who inspire us! This is the second set of Tribute Socks

We start on October 20, 2015. Why the 20th? No reason except sometimes the end of the month gets a bit stale and I thought it would be fun for all of you to get a pattern then! Every other month on the 20th you will receive a tribute pattern inspired by those persons, places or things I felt “tributeworthy”. Some of the tributes have been selected based on input from those in the KAL. The socks pictured were inspired by the storytellers who made fairy tales, stories and legends a part of our life.

There will be a KAL in the Must knit now, Phyll group on Ravelry to keep you updated on what I have planned for all who participate. Get your friends on board with this!

Rarely seen some believe fairies inhabit the woods and have magical powers they use for good and evil. They are thought to be small, delicate and feminine. Fairy tale stories, folklore, legends and myths have been passed on to children and adults since before recorded history. The origin of these fantasy tales or any of these types of oral stories is impossible to determine. The stories passed from generation to generation long before the written page.

Fairy Steps is a tribute to all the storytellers who told the stories, passing them on until they were written down by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson to name only a few. There are actually very few classic fairy tales that feature fairies! I’d like to think that a fairy might take a fancy to these socks!

The sock is knit from cuff to toe with a Picot Cast at the top, an easy leaf design and a Star Toe. Suitable for advanced beginners and interesting enough to keep knitters at all levels interested.
