What I leart from my 'musical journey through the week' is that there are weekdays that are not very popular with songwriters. Like Wednesday... ;-) There aren't all that many songs with Wednesday in the title and it took me a while to decide on the song that I really like to use for my Wednesday Socks. In the end it was a sad song once again: Wednesday Morning by folk rock band America.
Wednesday Morning is a song about parting from each other, so I chose a single wide cable that is running down the front and the back of the leg and which is parting into two small cables to form the heel respectively the instep. The instep is worked in a subtle eyelet pattern, thinking abou the line in the lyrics that says 'Wednesday evening was the first time she cried'.
The socks are knit from the cuff down with heel flap and gusset. The 'split cable' is continued onto the heel flap and the gusset is patterned also; it is worked in the all-over textured background pattern.
Wednesday Morning is available for indidviual download or as part of the Eight Days A Week Collection from my Ravelry store, here.
And if you want to know what the song sounds like, here it comes.
