I am so excited. A group of fellow Ravelers have started a competition over the next year based on Project Runway called Project Yarnway. Participants have to submit projects for 5 different challenges throughout the year to be eligible for the final challenge and we have our own Tim Gunn analog.
I just completed and submitted my design for the first challenge – to show my design sensibility and use only materials and tools available in my stash.
I designed a pair of socks based on my Labyrinth Shawl.
Here’s the diagram

The socks are made of Regia Hand Dye Effect sock yarn and were knit on size zero dpn’s.
Here’s my designer statement blurb
These represent me as a designer, because my first love is unusual but easy construction and my second love is socks. These socks are knit as a winding back and forth path that winds its way around the ankle to create a sock cuff. It is then worked back and forth across the foot with the only true work in the round is on the toe and only the toe grafting to finish up. All other edges are finished as you go.
