Pit Railway Socks were originally designed for the 2015 Canadian Crazy Train sock caper on Ravelry. These socks feature a complex cable panel framed by simple cable columns. They are worked from the top down. The pattern includes charted cable patterns.
The train theme presented a bit of a challenge since the Canadian railroad system never extended as far north as Yellowknife. Inspiration was instead drawn from the underground pit railways used to move miners, equipment and ore in and out of local gold mines. The photographs were shot using historical pit rail tracks and equipment as the backdrop. |
