If you follow me on Instagram, you might know that I am an avid sock knitter. The most recent pair of socks I made are the Boba Time Socks by Aimee Sher Makes. The pattern can be purchased on Etsy or Ravelry and I love how simple and quick it is to work on. I also love how closely they resemble one of my favorite beverages 😂. I usually go for a taro milk tea without the bubbles but I love how cute the bobbles made to resemble boba look on these socks. I’m so glad I held onto this One of a Kind skein from Marianated Yarns for the past year because the color is so close to taro milk tea. Below the photos, you’ll find a list of my favorite places to get bubble tea in the North Jersey/Midtown Manhattan areas since these are the places I frequent the most.
