Happy Australia Day!
I have been looking and looking for a charted map of Australia, in vain, so I made one up. This little one goes 4 times around a hat I knitted today, but my stranded knitting needs some work... I pull the unused color across the back too tightly, and so the hat is a bit tight and warped!
However, I'm thinking that duplicate stitching would work well, and that it would fit nicely onto the heel flap of a sock...

Well done you for making the chart yourself. My tip for stranded knitting is to make the floats looser than you think they should be,that way you never have puckering. You could also use intarsia...
I love the idea of a patriotic sock!
Nice work on the beanie. Looks good.
What a great idea! Way to make the Holiday your own, knitter!
