Strawberry socks

69 kr

This is how Anna describes the inspiration for July’s socks: It’s a still summer evening and the sun is setting golden over the garden. You sit under the apple tree with a bowl of freshly picked strawberries next to you and their sweet scent fills the air. As you savor the taste of the berries, the strawberry-red yarn runs through your fingers and, stitch by stitch, a sock emerges under your hands. Each stitch becomes a tribute to the peaceful rhythm of summer . Det vore underbart om du skulle vilja dela bilder på dina sockor på sociala medier, både medan du håller på att sticka på dem och när de är klara! Tagga dem med #yarnesty och #Jordgubbsockor så kan vi hitta varandras bilder och bli inspirerade! Vill du att vi ska visa upp ditt foto av sockorna tagga även @nordicknittingsociety – vi delar så många alster vi kan!
