Go Wandering pattern
Go Wandering pattern
These socks are mirror images of each other. The cable runs down the outside of the leg and foot of each sock.
The inspiration for this pair was the line from Lord of the Rings, “…not all those who wander are lost.” Such a good one!
This cable gives the illusion of a path or direction to follow without really realizing it; a guide one might say.
May we all have a guide for our path and for our heart that is truly trustworthy. For, “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” JRR Tolkein.
