Art Sunday, Sock Porn!

Wyvern Socks, by Aija Goto, handdyed with Orange Koolaid, knit on US #3 Dps.

 

I've been tooling around this week, looking for patterns for socks.  Sometimes I find myself on these incredible blogs that are colorful, wonderful explorations of color and texture. 

 

One of my favorite online magazines is Knitty.com, and there, I found a pattern for some fairly simple socks by Aija Goto, called "RPM".  There was a short blurb about the designer at the end of the pattern, and of course, I clicked the link.  (I'm a not so random clicker.) 

 

Goto's web blog is titled  "sock pron, Sock Porn for Knitting Voyeurs."   (the "o" in "pron" has a slash through it, which I don't think I can duplicate here.)  I think you'll find it one of those colorful, wonderful explorations of color and texture.  Goto has elevates a lowly wearable to fine craft.  Enjoy!
