Runes have been used for divination for a long time and the runic alphabet mostly used is that of the Elder Futhark, it’ll be the one you’re most familiar with if you’ve ever looked at rune stones. The runic alphabet often comprises of 24 runes and sometimes the carved stones will come with a blank one, meant to signify things we cannot know yet. The most common way to use them for divination is to either cast them on a cloth (and read those that land face up) or to pull three or more without looking from a pouch while concentrating on a question. spreads for reading are usually an odd number and there are many different ways to lay the stones if you pull them like this.

For today’s section of the sock pick a rune (either from your own runes if you have them or look at a picture and pick the one you’re drawn to). Use this handy guide which assigns a colour to each rune to find your yarn colour (if continuing with the colour work you’ll need a second, this list also gives gemstones which could give you a second colour or pick a second rune. The use the CHART here to knit up the next section.
