Hello Tiger!

Here are our new tiger socks. I made these with the RPM pattern on Knitty! They are comfortable. I especially liked making the baby sized ones - they seem like the perfect pattern for a toddler sock. I altered the adult pattern, as usual, to make the smaller size. I think I used 45 stitches - with a pattern of purl 1 knit 4 - going around in a spiral. Cute!

THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience)
By William Blake


Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare sieze the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art.
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
1794
