Bookshelf Socks

“Books are always more than words on paper; they are portals to other places, other lives.” – The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods

The Bookshelf Socks pattern was created for the Bookish Collaboration, where I teamed up with Elena from Rows and Seams and Manda from Little Bitty Delights to celebrate our love for books.

This time around I wanted to recreate the look of bookshelves full of books for the socks I designed, I might be biased but I feel I accomplished just that.
