As a kid, I so enjoyed my family’s annual camping trips in Ossipee, NH. Packed dirt pine paths led to easy meet ups with family friends for hikes. There’s a little background story about my Dad that inspired these socks - the first pair of socks that I made were for him. He loved them so much that I made a new pair for every birthday and Christmas that followed. Now, I’m delighted to share these socks with other generations, and with all of you!

When I first learned to make socks, I thought… there has to be an easier way!
