Sometimes we need a little nostalgia.

That feeling of sweet memories that bring back waves of emotion. These socks are inspired by friendship bracelets that filled my ankles and wrists. I hold so many memories of summer camp filled with embroidery string and creating memories around sweet company.

I hope you take some moments and put meaning to each of your yarn choices. The journal prompt on page 2 provides space for this exploration.

Yarn support for this pattern was generously provided by Woolberry Fiber Co from Colorado. Working with Bethany has been a dream of mine for many years. I still remember the first time I stumbled upon her website in 2018 and fell in love with the depth of her colors.

I am so delighted to share these socks with you. Please share your WIPs, HOs, and FOs with the hashtag #NostalgiaSocks.
