 Day 9

Dirigible plums are small orange magical fruits that look similar to radishes. They appear to float around the bush that they grow on. They are edible and were occasionally served at Hogwarts. The Lovegood home had a bush outside their front door, and Luna often wore dirigible plum earrings.

PROMPT: 
16 stitches on Sock A. 
Using orange for the plums and blue for the background to signify the plums floating in the air, knit the CHART linked. For toe-up socks, start at the bottom right at 1. For cuff-down socks, start at the top left at 1. The gray stitches are omitted for the 68-st sock and included for the 72-st sock.

Day 1 - Draco

Welcome to Day 1, everyone!   We have two sock options this year.  One will be a colorwork sock similar to previous years.  The second will be an alternate pattern to come very soon.  Stay tuned! First in our tour of the stars is the Draco constellation.  Draco, known as the dragon, is one of the constellations of the 2nd-century Greek philosopher Ptolemy.  It's considered one of the modern 88 constellations as well.  It sits in the northern sky close to the big and little dippers. Prompt 24 rounds on sock A Knit this CHART with colors of your choosing according to your size. For toe-up socks, start at the bottom right at 1.  For cuff-down socks, start at the top left at 1.  The gray stitches are omitted for the 68-st sock and included for the 72-st sock.  The pattern was written with white, black, and green in mind, but it would also look great in many other combinations.  Feel free to change up anything you see and share it ...
