Twisty Cables Galore

If you love intricate cables, you’re in luck, because Norma/n is in the final stages of test knitting. This Aran-inspired sock has two large cable panels surrounded by smaller, simpler twists, all of it completed in ktbl. As you can imagine, this makes it slow going, but it has a crisp, clean look that works well with solid yarns. The cuff detailing was created specifically for peeking out of the top of boots.

The yarn is Five Yarns Durable, which comes from an indie yarn dyer in Sofia, Bulgaria. I had the chance to visit the shop the last time I traveled the Balkans, and I highly recommend both it and Sofia in general. They’re both gems.

I expect to begin offering the pattern by the end of January 2021. And the best news? It’s free. Follow this blog to be alerted when Norma/n becomes available.
