Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
What do we love most about autumn? For some of us, it’s the gorgeous leaves fluttering to the ground. For the rest of us, it a chance to get something nice and cozy knit up for the cooler days ahead. This sock fits the bill on both counts.

Ideal for spring, summer or fall, this lacy triangular shawl provides a little extra warmth for cool evenings or cold offices and restaurants.
