Perspectives Socks
A shift in perspective: Antoinette Bertha Mason, the “mad” woman in the attic, shut away by Rochester. Is he a hero or a villian? The Perspective Socks, inspired by Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys, feature a bit of trompe-l’oeil provided by 1x1 cables that unexpectedly change direction as they re-frame the familiar Gentle Reader ribbing.
