This trio of moody and textured socks is my love letter to the wild and stormy late winter/early spring here in the North Woods. The collection is also a collab with Marissa of Fantasy Fibers Yarn Co.

There are three patterns included:

**Lightning Socks** - Rhythmic 2 x 2 ribbing with an engaging, lightning inspired cabled cuff, contrast toe/heel

**Deluge Socks** - Angular cables and twisted stitches....you can see the rain pelting against the trees.

**Thunderhead Socks** - A storm is coming, increases and decreases create this swirling, fun texture

This collection is constructed cuff down. If you would like toe up construction you can find it here:

These patterns come with a gusset and heel flap construction and 4 sizes. The skill level is not beginner, but I found after one repeat of the pattern for each sock, they all easily became TV knitting.
