Spring, summer, fall and winter-each season has its own unique colors, shapes
and textures. If you move through the seasons with open eyes, you'll notice Mother
Nature's little works of art everywhere you go.
I have translated my impressions of nature into new sock ideas for you to enjoy.
The result is a large variety of pattern and shapes that I have collected here in this
book for you. I guarantee, there is something here for everyone!
You'll find detailed material lists. easy to understand instructions, well-charted
patterns, and a comprehensive glossary of basic techniques.
I wish you great pleasure in knitting socks for all seasons.

Long before you see any signs of spring, new socks can
be sprouting from the needles. As a tribute to those early
crocus buds, this delicate lace pattern in a white silk/wool
blend symbolizes the hopeful beginning of a new season.
