Settle into your favorite spot and crack open the spine of your latest read. With the blink of an eye, it draws you in and whisks you away. You are no longer just turning pages, you are now part of the story, traveling along with each twist and turn of the enthralling plot. The true magic of a good book can take you on a journey, help you to fall in love, test your deductive reasoning or lead you to discover new and exciting things!

Storyline socks were inspired by the plot twists of some of the recent books I have read. As characters start their journey they find themselves intertwining with each other in surprising ways.

Dive into these cuff down cable filled socks that will keep you wanting to knit one more row. Watch as the cables twist their way down the side of the leg, and before you know it turn into a new cable adventure. Trust me this one you won’t want to put down!
