“She had a good sleep that night and awakened in the morning to find herself and the world transformed. It had snowed softly and thickly all through the hours of darkness and the beautiful whiteness, glittering in the frosty sunshine, looked like a mantle of charity cast over all of the mistakes and humiliations of the past.” L.M. Montgomery

What a beautiful thought from the Anne of Green Gables books! I hope these bring you comfort and joy as you knit and wear them or give them to those special to you.

This pattern has a lovely Latvian braid enclosing the beautiful snowflakes that encircle the legs of these socks. One of my testers had never knit a colorwork project before, and she made a beautiful pair. The braid is simply a special arrangement of knit and purl stitches.
