The New Year’s Kiss Sock features a lace pattern of overlapping leaves. They represents the phrase ‘turning over new leaves’- something that many people hope to do in the New Year. The New Year is the time to envision change, to finally turn over the leaves that will make your life the way you want it to be. As you knit these socks, I hope ideas of how you can do the things you really want to do come to fruition in your mind.
