Chrissy Gardiner of Gardiner Yarn Works share the story of her True Love Socks..."February is one of my favorite months,as it includes both Valentine’s Day and my lovely daughter Sydney’s birthday. Sydney is a sporty tomboy with a girlie-girl center, as demonstrated by her love of anything pink and frilly, preferably adorned with kittens, hearts, butterflies and/or unicorns. Assuming she’s not on her way to soccer practice, of course!

As soon as I laid eyes on this Love Rocks yarn from The Sweet Sheep, I knew it would be February’s yarn. In honor of Sydney and St. Valentine, I found a lovely heart-like cable motif to run up the front of the sock and complete the theme. A simple twisted rib back-of-leg gives your eyes, mind and fingers a rest while knitting and helps hug the ankle when worn. They’re the perfect Valentine’s Day gift - for yourself!"
