Here are my "shadow knit" Hogwart socks, in Ravenclaw colors.
And when you tilt them:
The Hogwart's "H" is on the sock on the left and the Ravenclaw "R" is encased in a shield on the right sock.
Here are the details:

My comments:
This was not only my first design in shadow knitting, but also my first time shadow knitting anything. It was fun and I learned some design tips as I went along. Once I get the right colors, I look forward to designing a pair of socks for each of the houses.
