Watch What You Say

I think I've mentioned before that Mommies should be careful what they say within hearing range of me or my yarn.  One Mommy in particular made a casual comment about the striped socks on her daughter's tiny feet and how she just loved funky socks.

I told her I'd make her some and she promptly told me that it was silly because the feet on tiny humans grow at an alarming rate and she would grow out of them too quickly for it to make sense.

I firmly disagree.  The glory of hand-knit socks is a wonder that all feet, no matter the size or growing speed, should get to experience.

And I promise to make more for the little one for as long as her Mommy desires.

UPDATE:  Today I received a picture of this little one wearing her yellow socks.  As her Mommy says, they fit her perfectly, at least for now…
