Feathering the Nest Socks

“A robin feathering his nest has very little time to rest While gathering his bits of twine and twig…”

When I discovered that I had a little one on the way, these enchanting lines from Mary Poppins kept swirling around in my thoughts. It’s an irresistible image: a little robin flitting in and out of a lush hedgerow, meticulously selecting just the right twig or the perfect scrap of twine, tucking them into its cozy nest, one by one, with love and care.
