~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you know that German has fewer words than English?
I was always amazed at that fact, but still it often proves to be true.
These socks are called “Leicht” and “Leicht” has two meanings in German. For one it refers to weights and basically means “lightweight” - which is true for the motive because the girl is just “leicht”. However, these socks are not really “leicht” - which would mean easy.

You will need:

  • a main colour suitable for the sky - I used Eulenwolle “Frischluft”
  • a contrast colour for the girl - I used Eulenwolle “anthrazit”
  • up to 34 scraps for the balloons (at least 4 colours are necessary)
