Vinculum
noun, plural vincula
1. a bond signifying union or unity; tie.

Sometimes you just need cables in your life — hundreds and hundreds of teeny, tiny, twisty cables. If you too sometimes feel a need to twist and tie stitches together, these are the socks for you.

Vinculum are knit top down with a strong heel. The strong heel allows you to carry the cables all the way down to the heel turn without ever having to cable on the wrong side of your knitting. It also allows for a rather nifty cabled gusset.
