A new sock pattern for you on this rainy Monday evening. (Lovely and rainy for New Mexico!)
The pattern says it, mostly, but I wanted to talk a little about my inspiration for these. Sometime in like . . . darkest 2011 or something, I went to the Yarn Underground. It may have even been the first time I went--it was that long ago. I was wandering around, browsing sock yarn like you do, and my eye fell on this skein of Society Socks Fingering. Once I saw the colorway name, I knew I had to have it, and it had to be socks for my mother.
My mom, you see, is a stone-cold hardcore gardener, and botanically-named yarn is right up her tree. (So to speak.)
Being the procrastinatrix that I am, it took me years and years to get around to knitting them, but once I did, they were so quick and easy that I wondered why I hadn't done it before.
Anyway, they are this year's Mother's Day gift (given early so she could model for me, haha). Love ya, Ma.
