DAY 11 - Astrapomancy

 Astrapomancy - 14 rows on sock B

image alt text

Astrapomancy is the use of Lightning bolts to divine the future, part of this was the direction that the bolt was observed to be in, if it was to the east of the diviner, that was a good omen, to the west, less so and the North was where the worst omens came from, North east was considered lucky but the north west meant bad news was coming soon. Many past civilizations believed they were divine messages sent down by the gods. using a light colour to represent the lightning (bolts are usually blue/white) use this CHART to create a textured band of lightning bolts on your sock.

(if you are doing colourwork use a light and dark colour to give yourself the contrast).

An additional, there are two charts one for 36 stitches and one for 34 stitches, if you are using 32 stitches for these texture parts, please use the chart for 34 and don’t knit the grey stitches
