Hunger Games Extreme* Socks<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This sock came to me all at once one night about 22 days before the Hunger Games<\/em> movie was released. I remember sitting there, turning to my husband and saying, “Holy Cow! I have to make a Hunger Games Sock Pattern!”<\/p>\n

He looked at me patiently and said, “Okaaaaayyyy..”<\/p>\n

I think he’s used to this sort of thing from me.<\/p>\n

I knew exactly what I wanted: \u00c3\u00bcber<\/em> cushy replaceable<\/em> \u00a0sole, toe-up construction, instep seamed to sides for lacy-breathability as well as functionality, arrowhead lace, three-strand cables down the sides, and a secret pocket to stash your throwing knfe.<\/p>\n

Or house keys.<\/p>\n

I’m really proud of these suckers and enjoy wearing mine with heavier-than-you’d-expect-for-handknit-socks shoes and boots. I imagine I’ll get some use out of these this winter when we’re supposed to have a “real” winter (unlike the long Fall\/Spring we had this year). I hope you like them too. You can \u00a0add to cart<\/a> \u00a0the *extremely comfy socks for $6US.<\/p>\n
