Architecture is an endless source of inspiration in knitting design. Old doors and windows, with their
unusual shapes and beautiful patina, are particularly inspiring.

For this design, I worked with the pattern carved on a beautiful wooden door and merged it with the Vertical aesthetics of a pointed arch window.
The Carved Wood socks are a cuff-down pattern with stranded knitting on the cuff, using a semi-solid to slightly speckled main color and two solid contrasting colors. I used colors reminiscent of the life cycle of copper: brown-green to teal to aqua blue.
