Straw into gold? We know this story! Or do we?
This is not Rumplestiltskin, but Naomi Novik’s fantastic novel Spinning Silver.
This is a story with a twist: the heroine has to transform silver, not straw, into gold.
She does this not by spinning, but through her own cleverness and courage. Fiber artists need not despair, however: there IS spinning AND knitting in the book, too!
The sock features a dramatic side motif. It combines a traditional Bavarian Twisted Stitch pattern called “Spinning Woman” with a simpler cable. Besides the large motif, a yarnover cable rib cascades down the leg and foot, like the silver that needs to be turned into gold. Optional beads (a very few, I promise) gives this sock a glamorous look.
