Stinky
Please note that the book and individual patterns under Tabetha’s name are no longer in print or available at this time.
Stinky has nothing to do with your feet (or anything else on the body, for that matter). We know when something stinks: politics, movies, books, bad friends, lies. And these socks will let you state your thoughts as calmly as possible. Surrounded by colorwork zigzags, this pair will be your first choice of the day.
