End 2009, the members of the Yahoo-group ‘’Sokken Breien’’ (knitting socks) walked their sock path. A mystery sock, with instructions in four separate parts that eventually formed the complete pattern. These adventurers didn’t know at the start where the path would lead them…

One of the travelers chose the name ‘’Aragorn’’ for this sock, Aragorn being one of the nine members of the Fellowship in the book ‘Lord of the Rings’

He completes his ordeal with drive and determination, Modest in spite the grandeur of his true being. The quiet and simple traveller, an almost invisible being who accomplishes a hard and testing path in a very special way.

Inspiring, full of hope and inner light

Aragorn is a sock with unexpected elements. You leave the common path, follow the trail and trust the clues. Eventually you will arrive at your destination: you knitted a unique sock.
