Child's Sock from Egypt, c.250-350 CE: this colorful sock is nearly 1,700 years old

This sock was discovered during excavations in the ancient city of Oxyrhynchus. It was likely created for a child during the late Roman period, c.250-350 CE.

Similar-looking socks from late antiquity and the early Byzantine period have also been found at several other sites throughout Egypt; these socks often have colorful, striped patterns with divided toes, and they were crafted out of wool using a technique known as nålbinding.

Above: a similar child's sock from Antinoöpolis, c.250-350 CE

The sock depicted above was created during the same period, and it was found in a midden heap (an ancient rubbish pit) in the city of Antinoöpolis. A multispectral imaging analysis of this sock yielded some interesting results back in 2018, as this article explains:

... analysis revealed that the sock contained seven hues of wool yarn woven together in a meticulous, stripy pattern. Just three natural, plant-based dyes—madder roots for red, woad leaves for blue and weld flowers for yellow—were used to create the different color combinations featured on the sock, according to Joanne Dyer, lead author of the study.

In the paper, she and her co-authors explain that the imaging technique also revealed how the colors were mixed to create hues of green, purple and orange: In some cases, fibers of different colors were spun together; in others, individual yarns went through multiple dye baths.

Such intricacy is pretty impressive, considering that the ancient sock is both “tiny” and “fragile."

Given its size and orientation, the researchers believe it may have been worn on a child’s left foot.

Above: another child's sock from Al Fayyum, c.300-500 CE

The ancient Egyptians employed a single-needle looping technique, often referred to as nålbindning, to create their socks. Notably, the approach could be used to separate the big toe and four other toes in the sock—which just may have given life to the ever-controversial socks-and-sandals trend.

Yarn for Christmas?

An open PSA to anyone with crafting friends (and isn't really sure what they like):

DON'T BUY THEM YARN

Part of the hobby is the purchasing yarn, which some might argue buying yarn and using yarn are two different hobbies. "But OP," you might argue, "I just know they'll love the Red Heart Super Saver I got on sale at Joann's! One skein should be plenty, and they can make me a sweater!"

This is one of those rare cases where a gift card to their favorite yarn store is more personal. First off, nothing against Red Heart, but if they're a yarn snob, it's going to collect dust. If they're a project-oriented purchaser, it's going to collect dust. If they like to buy yarn, then it's just mean.

Also, NEVER imply that your crafting friend should make something for you. If they love you, they will. If they don't, then you're not close enough to be making expensive demands.

The Lumpshade & Lumpillow patterns are for a textured felt lamp shade in multiple sizes and matching pillows in two sizes. The lamp shade can be sewn over a preexisting shade or a handmade frame. DIY instructions for a metal lamp shade frame are included in this pattern as well as a lesson in lamp anatomy and safety. I've also made an Amazon list of the lampshade supplies.

These housewares are a great project for all seasons and add some texture and softness to your decor. If you’ve never wanted to hug a lamp shade or rub a pillow, you might want to after making these.

Experience with short rows is important before starting this project. This pattern is knit in the round and makes a very nice bag if housewares aren’t your thing.

Pillow Sizes: 10” x 16” and 16” x 16”.

Lampshade fits a 6”-18” diameter drum shade with a height of 11”. The height is also adjustable.

More images of the non knitting sections of the pattern are posted on ravelry so that everyone can get a good idea of the skills and materials needed to build the lampshade. These instructions are also included in the pattern PDF. Please take a look to avoid any unwanted surprises.

got one of my little faux-Zauberballs done. i mean, apart from it being a chain-ply structure, more of a DK weight, and handspun, it’s exactly like one of those. the multicolor ball is definitely similar.

There aren’t any tutorials showing how to do a twisted rib in the double knitting technique, so I thought I’d show it off.

It’s a little bit tricky because of the weird colour control, but as long as you follow the pattern & remember to split the yarn colours on the second set of stitches you can easily fall into a nice rhythm.

Loving the blue and brown :)

I made socks from yarn I spun myself! The wool came right from the sheep and was quite rough, but I made it work. The sheep were two-coloured so I seperated the colours to make these. The socks are meant as a second layer (over normal socks) for the winter, they're waaaay too itchy to wear directly on skin. Love them!!
