HSS30 Lace Maple Leaf Socks (Cuff Down)
"In my younger years," says the youthful Erickson-Schweitzer, "I spent many wonderful summers in western Ontario, Canada where my grandparents had a log cabin home on a pristine spring-fed lake abounding with natural beauty and wonders. Whenever seeing the Maple Leaf emblazoned on the National Flag of Canada, my memories of those happy times I spent in Canada resurface. These socks are a tribute to my northern neighbors. I hope you will celebrate along with me in this interpretation of the maple leaf in a textured lace stitch." First published in the book 50 Socks - 50 States, which generously included Canada! The (American) designer has made this available just before Canada's July 1 birthday (we'll be 147 in 2010), to celebrate it. Look how beautiful. Thank you, Jackie!
