Heisenberg Socks {knitting inspiration}
Once you unlock the skills of knitting it's like you've opened your eyes to a wonderful world that wows and amazes. Simply switching between stitches and a few planned increases or decreases turn the basics into something extraordinary!
That's exactly what designer Meaghan Schmaltz has done with the Heisenberg Socks. Offset diamonds intermingle with bands of garter stitch moving up the foot and leg of the Heisenberg Socks. So pretty!
