Frequent Kotaku tipster Jane tipped us off to knitter extraordinaire Aija Goto's wicked sweet Space Invaders socks. They're handmade and beautifully designed, but that cryptic knitter's moon language is just too much for my uncrafty brain to decipher.

Seriously, I think I could do some Chinese algebra with a fifth of Jack in me before I could wrap my noodle around "Yo, k1 using CC1, k34 using MC, SSk3tog. Break CC1. Turn work."

For the knitters in the house, patterns and a tutorial are up over at Knitty. Make me a pair, would ya? Michael McWhertor
