Living on the east coast most of my childhood, we would hear the grown ups talk about the Garden State and the
ominous New Jersey Turnpike. By the time we hit the state border, we were always asleep. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized why the adults had discussed which route to take. It was more magical when we were children.

These socks, by Heatherly Walker, are inspired by the challenge of navigating the Turnpike. The color is a nod to the 122 miles of asphalt and stripes. Start your needles!
