“Anne’s beauty-loving eyes lingered on it all, taking everything greedily in. She had looked on so many unlovely places in her life, poor child; but this was as lovely as anything she had ever dreamed.”
– Anne of Green Gables

The imagery created by L. M. Montgomery allows readers to step into the verdant beauty of Green Gables. These top-down socks allow you to dip your foot into the fantasy, with lace leaves growing around the leg and down the toe. Twisted ribbing creates striking lines along the length of the sock, while being both rhythmic and relaxing to knit. While we may not be able to walk the roads of Avonlea, nobody can stop us from dreaming!
