Recently at my knitting group someone was giving away a collection of knitting booklets. I took one because of these socks. I like the little birds. The booklet is 0115 Idehefte, Sandnes Julehefte. It was distributed by Swedish Yarn Imports and the copyright belongs to SandnesGarn of Sandes Uldvarefabrik SS. The booklet is in English and the socks are designed for my shoe size.
I assume being in a Swedish knitting booklet the bird is Swedish and I don't know what species it is. Offhand I couldn't find anything on the web to tell me. However, my knitting group also has a member from Sweden. I'll have to take this with me to ask her what bird this is.
It's getting closer to that December holiday, you know.
Update:
I've done a little investigation. I think it's possible the bird is supposed to be a European bullfinch. See the photo below:
It looks pretty close to me.
