I have always adored the little forget-me-not flowers with their five tiny dainty petals. As a young girl, I was often found sitting and admiring them. These perennials are found around the world and symbolize true love, enduring memory and faithfulness. Many legends surround the origins of the forget-me-not
and its name. One legend says that when the creator had finished giving out the colors to all the flowers, he heard a tiny whisper, “forget-me-not!” All he had left was a tiny bit of blue, which the little flower was delighted to wear. Inspired by these happy flowers that appear in the spring, these socks are perfect for wearing on a chilly spring morning. And forgive me for the play on words with knot. It is just a reminder to avoid any yarn knots in your socks!
