My friend Allison Sarnoff and I have created a book! We love this project so much. We were able to express all our sci-fi geekiness in yarn.

“Unobtainables: Fake Elements, Real Knits by Heatherly Walker and Allsion Sarnoff contains over 20 patterns. Each pattern is based on a fictional element from science fiction, movies, myths, comic books or video games. Heatherly and Allison have designed 15 sock patterns and 7 accessories, including a hat, cowl, fingerless mitts, 2 shawls and 2 scarves. The projects cover a wide range of knitting difficulties and techniques including cables, lace, colorwork, and beading.”

23 November, 2013 was the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who. I am a huge Doctor Who fan. I even sent my daughter of to kindergarten with a Dalek lunch box. To celebrate the 50th Anniversary, a special sneak peak pattern is available! Presenting Dalekenium (which is spelled 2 different ways throughout time: Dalekenium and Dalekanium.)

This is the medium size of Dalekenium. The full range of sizes are included in the book.
Finished Measurements
Foot circumference: 8.5”

The Dalekenium Socks were inspired by those creatures of Davros, the Daleks. Indigo dragonfly created the custom colorway for the book and gave it the awesome name, “Daleks Don’t Give Pink Slips”. Earth Faire had these amazing hexagonal beads (see beading tutorial!) which desperately needed to be on Dalek socks!

The single pattern is for an accordion fold Sock-ette. A sock pattern for your Sock Bag Pocket! Additional pdf of enlarged charts only is available as well.
