“In the state of Washington, under a near constant cover of clouds and rain, there is a small town named Forks. Population: 3,120 people. This is where I’m moving.”
– Bella Swan, Twilight

As a newcomer to Forks, Washington, Bella Swan finds herself taking comfort in the lush landscape and damp, green forests. As Jacob and Edward become important people in her life, she finds that some difficult decisions lay before her and a choice needs to be made. These socks create lace ‘forks,’ beginning at the toe and working their way up the leg of the sock. A reverse stockinette gusset creates a unique texture along the side of the foot. Use a dark yarn for a moody pair, or a bright yarn to make some cheerful spring socks.
