Rustic, cabled socks inspired by an, erm, pilgrimage to Athens, GA -- in particular a viewing of the remains of the railway trestle that used to span Trail Creek. Yes, that trestle.

If you own a copy of R.E.M.’s Murmur, check out the back cover. Now picture it with less kudzu and more sock -- or something like that.

The pattern will be ready before the end of November 2008!
