​Lush tangles of Periwinkle trail and travel over hand-cut granite blocks that have half-sank into the ground. Purple flowers glow against glossy emerald foliage. Moss-kissed Stonewalls meet them on either side; and lacy white Yarrow sways here and there, shading the tiny wild strawberries hidden in the lowgrass. A butterfly floats through sunshine. Breezy maple leaves cast shaded dots of daylight that dapple and dance where the garden has overtaken the barn ruins. A place both cultivated and wild, where civilization edges the undomesticated. Rewilded.

Clean stockinette edges a wild yet contained lacy leaf-like motif. Breezy and perfect for wearing with your favorite sandals!

Socks are cast on at the toes and worked toe-up. Foot is worked to adjustable length with a peasant heel. Socks are worked seamlessly in the round to the cuff, then peasant heel is worked with decreases and grafted shut.
