Socks on a pear tree


Until recently I knitted socks for friends and family only. until I learned of Molly's appeal.



Details: Size 10 / 41
Wool : 100% Merino by handgefaerbt
Pattern : show off stranded


I started a week ago after some discussions via email with Molly as we both were not sure about the required size in my European system - I hope they will fit...
I was able to finish them quickly before going on a long holiday.
There was only one problem: the picture. None of the many snaps I took is doing justice to the colour which is a fine balance between green and pumpkin orange. So the socks ended up hanging in a pear tree. This gave the nearest impression of the colour.

I hope Molly likes them and I am looking forward to a set of her beautiful knitting needles.
