Miss lemon
Introducing our delightful Miss Lemon socks, a charming tribute to Hercule Poirot's unflappable assistant from Agatha Christie’s beloved novels. Renowned for her impeccable typing skills, ability to take dictation, and even securing table reservations in the most unexpected places, Miss Lemon is a character full of surprises. In The Labours of Hercules, she showcases her expertise in nearly every matter and dreams of creating the ultimate filing system, making her an inspiring figure for our knitting community.
These stunning socks are designed with elegance and nostalgia in mind. The wedge pattern that runs down the front of the sock brings to mind fresh lemon wedges, a delightful homage to Miss Lemon's name. For the back, I've chosen to replicate the subtle fabric bias resembling the distinctive wedges, adding a charming 'seam' down the back of the leg. This touch evokes the style of stockings that were popular in Miss Lemon’s era. It’s fascinating to note how women in the past would draw seams on the back of their legs to create the illusion of wearing stockings, especially during periods like wartime when resources were scarce. This historical nod enhances the character of the socks and connects knitters with a rich tapestry of stories.
