a wee sock

last thursday, i took a class to knit this child's sock from a pure & simple knitting pattern at a mano yarn center in venice. it was a challenge, but easier than i thought. just finished the one sock yesterday morning. can't wait to go sock happy. i'm the poster child for socks. with poor circulation, i often wear socks around the house, even in the summer. and of course, i love knee socks. my mom discouraged me shaving my legs through my awkward years, even though i so desperately wanted to shave what seemed like stark & black hairs that are actually imperceptible--i'm asian, we don't have much hair. i wasn't happy at the time, but i have less "maintenance" to worry about.

lucky for me, my cousin liz just had a baby. our friend austin has twin babies, and amy, mike's sister, is pregnant, so there's no shortage of babies to make socks for.
