This cutest pair of socks has been knitted longing for spring and garden works, can’t wait!
But there’s still a lot of snow here up in North where I live. But spring will come, eventually.

In the meantime, I’m going to paint my bedroom walls, sew new curtains, start a crochet blanket and knit a few more pair of socks…

I hope you enjoy knitting “Lemon Balm” socks!
