Inner Light
♫ The Music ♫
Star Trek may seem a far cry from Celtic cables but my favourite TNG (The Next Generation) episode of all time is “The Inner Light” (Season 5 Episode 25 if you want to check it out). Captain Picard learns the flute during his experience on the planet Kataan and plays the most beautiful melody ~ composed by Jay Chattaway ~ that is very worthy of cables. It is a tune of hope.
Inner Light are our Holiday socks for 2020 - garlands and wreaths and toasty toes, oh my!
Features:
- These toe-up socks begin with a barn toe.
- The cables on the instep and leg are mirrored on the right and left sock.
- The sole is worked in Stockinette stitch (knit every round).
- The gusset increases are worked at the sides of the sole.
- The heel is turned using a short row heel cap which means no picking up stitches.
- The heel flap is worked in a standard slipped-stitch pattern.
