A musical journey through the week in hand-knitted socks

It all began in a group on Ravelry I am in, where somebody suggested to knit over the course of a year a pair of socks for each day of the week. I knew right away that I would like to go ‘freestyle’, i.e. design my own patterns and the first skein of yarn I picked from my stash was a bright blue yarn with a bit of glitz added. And in my head the socks were called Blue Monday right from the start. And Blue Monday is a song that was popular back in the 80s – and that’s how my music themed collection started.

Eight Days a Week is a collection of eight sock patterns inspired by songs. The compilation is by no means a ‘best of’ nor is it the music I typically listen to, but I’ve chosen songs that I like for one reason or the other – may it be the voice, the melody, the rhythm, the lyrics…, songs that were earworms at a certain time, songs that I had an idea how to interpret in a pattern… you get the idea.

I hope you’ll enjoy knitting the patterns as much as I enjoyed designing them.

Happy Knitting!
