Cherry Bud Socks
The first cherry buds we see each year are a reassurance that spring is not just a thing of our imagination. They are a promise of warmer days coming soon, and seeing them always makes me believe in magic again.
Pick up needles with some lovely yarn and then, row by row, watch little buds coming to life on your very own pair.
These socks are an addition to my line of designs created to be worn at home and enjoyed as a dear treat. Maybe they are not especially necessary or practical, but who said everything has to be?
