Red Delicious by Sara Peterson

These cheerful socks make me think of walking to the farmer's market for fresh fruit on early Saturday mornings. Although colorwork isn't typically a warm weather skill, you can knit these socks before the seasons change and remember the dog days of summer year-round.

Yarn provided by Miss Babs Hand Dyed Fibers - available as a kit for $35.
