The story of the Socks of Catan

There is such a thing as the Socks of Catan but you’ll have to wait until the next product run as the first batch sold out. You can order yours over at Betabrand. Betabrand is an online store that releases new inventions every week and has a thing for limited edition goods.

These socks, clearly based on the geeky favourite Settlers of Catan, were invented by the craft and food editor at Instructables.com, Sarah James. Sarah’s also involved in Betabrand’s Think Tank so turning her discovery of Catan and her geek-appropriate reaction to it into a fashion statement was a natural next step. Which was good news for us.
