A pair of woolen socks with knitted braille writing laying on a wooden floor. The socks are of a darker pink colour with a broad white stripe above the ankles. On the white there are the braille dots forming "braille 200", the letters "bra" and the number on the first sock (the "i" is hidden on the backside of the sock) and "lle" on the second.

A pair of woolen socks with knitted braille writing laying on wooden table. The socks are purple with white stripes around the foot-area and white braille letters above the ankles forming the name "Sari" once on each sock. The left sock is still in the process of being completed with the fitting sticks still attached at the bottom.
