In my search for sock patterns, I came across this beautiful Baratheon sock pattern inspired by Game of Thrones. I instantly fell in love with the cable pattern, but soon realized that I would be unable to use it since most of my work is done from bottom up while the socks are knit from the top down. What followed was literally a mess of yarn and frustration, but I finally had a breakthrough on Saturday! The final result turned out to be quite different from the original cable pattern, but I love mine so much more. Not only is it my own design, but the cables actually turned out to look like stags - the sigil of House Baratheon. Here is the pattern in scarf form for now. I'm planning to incorporate it into a cardigan I'm planning for myself. So many things I want to create, so little time.
