Socks to be you!
February 5, 2009
D here! I’m hijacking B’s blog again! What’s the occasion you may ask?
I got a new pair of socks!!!!
Oh, and she also left me alone with the ‘pooter for a few minutes. She’s out with her knitting pals.
So, back to the socks! They are verrry nice! B made up the pattern as she went so they are truly custom made for me. She had me try them on several times during throughout the fabrication process to ensure a perfect fit. Many fancy, high tech features have been incorporated into their design:
- Simultaneous knittage to eliminate “second-sock-angst” and to ensure uniform leg ascention
- Stylish full length power ribbing along the top of the foot. Nothing plain about these bad-boys!
- Super support arch ribbing to prevent unsightly sagging arches
- Ultra smooth texture under heel and ball of foot to virtually eliminate unsightly grooves on sensitive pressure points
- Extreme blue colour scheme – blue is good. I like blue.
- Asymmetrical stitch count (apparently one sock has several more stitches around – but I can’t tell so I think they were supposed to be that way). My ankles must be different circumferences.
These socks rule. B is awesome for making them for me.
That is all. Now back to your regularly scheduled blogger.
