Fantasy author Holly Lisle not only generously shares writers’ tips that I’ve enjoyed surfing through for years, she also is an imaginative, skilled knitter. And she has created a madly interesting set of make-your-own-magic sock patterns for some of her fictional characters, the Anzi.

The idea is that the Anzi knit colorful patterns into the fabric, visually expressing what they desire to receive. Her website explains: 

“The Abundance Socks give thanks for something needed. They acknowledge the Anzi belief that as soon as you put your will into the system, the system answers simultaneously, though you may not see the results immediately. So when the Anzi pray, they don’t pray for something. They give thanks for it, because whether they have what they need yet or not, they accept that Spirit has already answered.”

This just delights me; you have got to check this out. (I can’t possibly be the only other sci-fi/fantasy geeky knitter out there, can I?) At Holly’s site, the index on this topic contains links that explain the theory, the pattern, color theory, meaning of the symbols, and more.
