The Maine Coast Summer Socks are a tangible expression of the beautiful, surreal summer I spend in Mid-coast Maine. Knit with cables that represent lobster claws in the most perfect nautical red, these top-down socks are easy enough for a cable beginner, while still interesting and fun to knit for more seasoned knitters!
