The remora detail is fantastic.

This is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. I'm kind of speechless at the creativity. And the little remora detail...just, wow! Fantastic!

Reactions over the course of reading the blog post:

- Oh, I think I've seen shark socks before...

- Hah, the knitted toes poking out!

- Reverse stockinette scales, cute.

- THE REMORA OMG THIS IS THE BEST.

I learned to crochet over the fall just so i could make the infant version of these for my friend's twins because oh my god sharks eating baby toes.

Sadly no tiny remora to go along with them.

Actually, the pattern does include remoras- I'm holding a kit in my hand. :)

I'm not sure how knowing how to crochet would help with the construction of these socks.

The Tsarina is brilliant, I have her Cowboy Boot and Kitri kits. The former is half finished (damn second sock syndrome).
