Sleeping in the Garden ~ single printed pattern**
The flowers close their petals and dew begins to form. The bees retire. At last the garden sinks into a silent rapturous plushness...
Evoking garlands of drooping blossoms, the Sleeping in the Garden socks feature delicate trellises that appear to drip with colour as they run down the leg and instep. Knit from the toe up with short row heels and toes, these socks make use of simple lace panels for a quick and versatile knit adaptable to a wide range of sizes.

Rochelle ~ single printed pattern**
She sells seashells by the seashore. And you can tell her apart from the others, by her fancy socks!
Designed especially for sport weight sock yarns, this modern take on classic Old Shale makes for a quick and unfussy knit. Easy lace repeats intergrade elegantly into the top-down sock construction with short row heels and toes. The ripple effect of the pattern flatters the wearer, and suits both solid and variegated yarns.
