Product Details

Sock inspired by the novel Fjäderholmarna (Swedish for Feather Islands) by ZachariasTopelius.

Far out in the Gulf of Bothnia, almost midway between Sweden and Finland are some small lush green islands, called Fjäderholmarna. It's so beautiful there.

Far in the wild sea, where the waves go high like houses and the ships perish on the autumn nights, you would never have thought that so healthy, happy, green islands could invite the tired sailor to their friendly harbour. No wind blows there, there swells no high wave, no lonely seagull raises its uniform cry over foamy fires. Everything breathes a lovely calm.

The wind is resting, the wave is dormant, the birds are singing silently and the moonlight is playing with golden-yellow gloss over the fragrant flowers and over the trees, which are drinking the clear dew in the evening roll.

Notes

* The socks are knitted cuff down with short row heel and rounded toes.

* The pattern has charts for the cables and written instructions for the rest.
