This is the 6th pattern in the Deeds Not Words Sock Club.

Lucy Stone was an early advocate of antislavery and women’s rights. Her speech at the 1852 National Woman’s Rights Convention converted Susan B. Anthony to the cause of women’s rights. She announced at her wedding that she would keep her name as it would give her husband an unnatural superiority over her if she took his. Stone formed the American Woman Suffrage Association, which focused on state suffrage amendments and helped to publish The Woman’s Journal.

Materials:

• US 1 (2.25) circular knitting needles (or size needed to get gauge), I recommend at least 32 inches (my preferred length). You can substitute DPNs and 9-inch circulars for circulars as well and I’ll show you how. 100 grams of fingering-weight sock yarn.Stitch marker or locking stitch marker (optional) Ruler or measuring tape.Darning needle. Sock blockers to photograph your socks once you’re done! (optional).
