“Many hands make light work” -John Heywood, 1546

This sock uses traditonal Gansey motifs in a modern toe-up structure.

The central motif is a fishing net flanked by two cables. Each cable is in turn flanked by two ribs. It symbolizes achieving the rewards earned by two people working toward a common goal.

This sock was designed for my son-in-law Larry’s birthday.
