“Books are always more than words on paper; they are portals to other places, other lives.” – The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods

Since I was a little girl I have always loved books, I am an avid reader and I love to talk about books to anyone who wants to hear me out.
I will recommend books, I will add books that people recommend to me to my never ending TBR (to-be-read list). I have hosted a book club for five years now along with a dear friend and it has been one amazing experience.
So you can understand my excitement when I was approached for a Bookish Collaboration by Elena from Rows and Seams and Manda from Little Bitty Delights. I immediately started going through my stash to find the perfect yarn for what I had in mind.
This time around I wanted to recreate the look of bookshelves full of books for the socks I designed, I might be biased but I feel I accomplished just that.
