The seventh sock in the UK Sock Knitters 2019 Challenge.

There are 18 groups in the periodic table and this year I will be knitting a sock to represent an element from each of them. Click the link above to follow my progress on the whole project in one notebook post !

Irridium is named after the Greek goddess Iris (personification of the rainbow) because of the striking and diverse colors of its salts.

These simple toe-up shorties are a great use of leftover yarns

The inspiration picture (bottom) shows an illustration of Iris by the British artist Arthur Rackham
