In the spring the long winter is over, the days get longer and the light wakes up the nature. Some trees start growing leaves, some start growing flowers. The pear tree is one of those trees that start blooming before the leaf buds come out. The little, white flowers fill all the branches covering the long spines.

These fingering weight socks are knit cuff down with a heel flap, using the Magic Loop method. A beautiful lace motif decorates the front leg and the instep. The socks can be made with one color, or using that lovely mini skein you have in stash as a contrasting color.
