Morsmordre!
Posted on August 15th, 2007 at 9:54 amThe socks are finished, and so I cast a Dark Mark into the sky. Socks have been finished here. Or something.
Meet Barty Jr.
Pattern:
Meh. 2×2 rib over about a million stitches on 2mm needles.
Yarn:
Scouts Swag Death Eaters colorway, a gift from Julie.
Comments:
The combination of the simple pattern, my insane gauge, and other interesting things to work on made these the Socks that Never End. They feel great, though. I like them. They’re very thick, as the yarn is a bit thicker than probably should be knit on 2mm. needles.
I had a bit of a hard time naming these socks. I obviously felt that they should be named after a Death Eater, but I kept finding interesting aspects to other DE’s personalities that should be represented in their socks. Ultimately these were named after Crouch because he cast the first appearance of Morsemordre in the books.

I love your sock naming theme. I’m just now reading the fifth book, and wonder why I never started earlier.
I was hoping to meet you at Sit’N'Stitch at Borders tonight (is there a way to say it so that it doesn’t sound so stalkerish?), but maybe next week?

[…] socks that are started and completed in the same month? These certainly went much faster than my last pair, which I think were on the needles for 3 or 4 months. Things must just be lined up really well for […]
