Spring Rain Socks Pattern
The Spring Rain Socks pattern was inspired by the rainy spring days that shower the plants with water, helping them bloom into beautiful flowers. I love the way the forest smells right after a big rain and I enjoy finding all the new sprouting buds along my walks.
Yarn
Yarn support for this design was generously provided by Colleen of Little Lionhead Knits.
