While I don’t much like Christmas as a holiday, I do love the decorations going up everywhere during advent. All the lights! When I was knitting these socks, they reminded me of the big, fancy fairylights hung up in shopping streets, stars, comets, reindeer. Those big lights hanging across the streets and swaying in the wind.
