Miss Marple likely ate quite a few scones with her most trusted maid on quiet days in St. Mary Mead. These socks were inspired by Miss Marples most trusted maid Florence. They have just enough lace to make them pretty, but enough plain stockinette to make them practical for the most hard-working of kitchen maids. Perhaps best enjoyed with a nice sit-down, some tea and honey, and yes, some scones.
