Turkish Delight

“The Queen let another drop fall from her bottle on to the snow, and instantly there appeared… several pounds of the best Turkish Delight.”
- The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C. S. Lewis

Reading these words as a child, my mouth watered over this dessert I had never encountered. This toe-up sock is filled with deliciously addictive texture, creating rectangles of Turkish Delight up the instep and around the leg of the sock. A contrast color is used for the toe and heel, as well as for slip-stitch drops of magic, landing upon the snow. Luckily the enchantment of this treat will last longer than it did for Edmund, allowing a second sock to meet its match.
