ABOUT  
My mother-in-law’s home is a garden with a house attached. A shrine to myriad blooms of every sort, heavy with scents and birdsong.  This intuitive, one-size, adjustable foot length project is just the pair of socks for walking a garden path in. A trellis of textured centre-cable crossings and small, round, posie-like cables grow down the leg and cross the top from cuff to toe, closed with a fine Kitchener stitch. These socks are a rhythmic, meditative knit. Perfect to work on and perfect to walk in. Like Natalie’s garden.
