Nerd Wars Tournament 8 Round 1 - Nerdology


Team Rangers
Craft: knit

Bearfoot bear
Team Unity Project
Description of the project;
My inspiration for this project are feet - humble, everyday feet that propel us from one place to another, without complaining and burning fossil fuel… Well, not exactly not complaining, ok:

Feet are simplest form of alternative transportation, and yet often overlooked or neglected.

To get our feet to perform their best, we need good, comfortable socks to cushion them when walking, protect them from cold and pamper them with softness.
I knitted pair of socks for my DH, of wool/mohair blend that are silky to touch and tough to wear. They were supposed to be his birthday present (july) but he liked them so much that he got them earlier :)

Team tie-in:
Captain Sheridan is a all around awesome guy, but as everybody else, he has his little “rituals” to help him deal with stressful situations. One of them is leaving socks to wash - his old drill sergeant always said that the person who has nothing left to do is going to get killed. Only he would live forever, because he always had socks to wash…
This is also our TUP project - this month we are crafting something to represent 20 years of Babylon 5 and it’s importance to us. Those socks are made of yarn famous for durability and comfort, and I do hope they will last at least big chunk of those 20 years. Being present for my DH, who is in my life for almost as 20 years too and another big Babylon 5 fan, makes me very glad that I am able to knit Sheridan socks for him and make him happy!
