Ohio holds the record for both the shortest and longest covered bridges in the USA. The shortest, pictured above spans Middle Run in Elkrun Township, Columbiana County,Ohio. It is the shortest covered timber bridge in the United States still standing on a once-used public highway, having a clear span of 19 feet and 3 inches.
It is an example, rarely found covered, of the simplest, most basic truss design, the two-panel king post truss. It has withstood the rigors of time and traffic since the 1870s and stands in eloquent testimony of the fine craftsmanship of the early Ohio bridge builders. My inspiration comes from the covered bridges!

Timber Bridge socks are knit from cuff to toe with an easy to remember pattern, an eye of partridge heel with a ribbed construction that makes for a very well fitting sock. I hope you enjoyed your visit to Columbiana County, Ohio.

While the pattern calls for sport weight yarn I think they would be lovely in a fingering weight yarn as well. Just remember to get about 600 yds. of yarn for these. Barking Dog Yarns has yarn in 600 yard hanks which is perfect for these socks!
