Socks


We’ve shown you knitting patterns for TARDIS socks in the past, but these versions from Ellen Botilda might have a slightly better design.

The pattern to knit a pair for yourself is available for free (Google Docs), though we wish the BBC would just sell something similar ready-made for the rest of us.

What geek guy could resist a geek girl wearing knee-high socks explaining what kind of geek she is? It’s also available in men’s sizes, which seems far from sexy. Still, team pride and all that you know?

3d-knee-highs

Knee high socks are sexy, but I would keep any lewd comments to yourself lest you get a roundhouse kick to the head in full 3D. That having been said, these socks would be the perfect companion to the 3D glasses dress.

Fuji Mountain Tabi Stretch SocksThese Tabi socks offer a Hokusai print and kanji that apparently reads either “Japan is #1″ or “Best of Japan”. By the looks of things this could be a creative way to get more surfers to vacation in The Land of the Rising Sun.
