Flowerette Socks

The Flowerette Socks were inspired by the memories of the embroidery work that I learned from my Grandma. On one of my many visits to her house, she would pull out the iron and transfer the purple outlined pictures onto white cotton fabric. Patiently, she would sit with me, needle in hand and teach me the fine needlework.
