Raindrops racing down windows, dripping from the end of a leaf, and gathering in puddles on the ground. Rain is one of the most beautiful natural occurrences in the world. I have always felt more at peace in a rainstorm than I ever have on a sunny day.

When I started knitting this design, I knew it felt like rain - and when the gradient came together so beautifully, I knew the only way to describe it was like raindrops running down a stained glass window. And thus, the Stained Glass Rain socks were born.
