Movie Socks

Almost two years ago, I got an email asking for submissions for a new sock pattern book so I duly submitted a design, was thrilled to be accepted and then had the loooong wait until the book was published. And then, just as I was about to reveal my socks to the world, I went and had a baby four weeks early. :-P So the book has now been out ages and some people have even knitted my socks which is brilliant, but I’ve never actually blogged about the design.

The book is called The Joy of Sox and these are my socks as they appear in the book:

:-D

The brief for the book was that it was a slightly risqué play on a book with a similar title ;-) and the patterns and book style is slightly tongue in cheek, but not rude so I can still show it to my grandmother. My socks are cute rather than sexy, and more in mind for wearing on a cool evening, curled up on the sofa with a loved one watching DVDs, which is what I tend to do a lot anyway. :-)
