Grounded Socks ARE my WIP Wednesday! \"tami_wip\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mina’s Protective Socks are not for the faint of heart\u2014but then, neither is running a boot camp for psychic teens.<\/p>\n

Mina’s protective arms like the roots and branches of a tree enfold the kids in her care, and while she’s not perfect (who is) she’s always there.<\/p>\n

These socks are heavily cabled\u2014so much so that the charts come color coded. And while the charts have been broken up for ease-of-use and lack-of-eyestrain, complete charts (one for the back and one for the front) are also provided in case you like to use Knit Companion<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"RosieFirestarter-cover\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\nRosie\u2019s Firestarter socks<\/a> are easy-to knit because there\u2019s only little panel of something other than stockinette and that runs down the outside of the sock (making a distinct right and a left sock). But because Rosie hates to be bored there\u2019s also a Welsh heel (like the\u00a0WWMDfK?<\/em>\u00a0Fosco socks<\/a>) and a fitted arch.Thus, these suckers FIT.hey hug your foot nicely and the leg bit is easily extendable for you to make it as long as you need. Want to add calf shaping if you decide to go long? It\u2019s easy to do because the back of the leg is pure stockinette. (Andi\u2019s book\u00a0Big Foot Knits<\/em><\/a> would help with planning for that).
