Ever since she first started talking, Elise has been very adamant on her two favorite colors being purple and yellow "rellow".
Lately, Elise has been very interested in my knitting. She takes note when I am wearing a sweater and always asks if I knit it. The answer always seems to be "no". She has also taken an interest in what I will be knitting for her, and is going as far as requesting different knit items.
From what I hear, this stage doesn't always last, so I have decided to try to take advantage of her interest while it is still there. So when Elise asked for a pair of hand knit socks, it was time for a special shopping trip (never mind the fact that my feet have never actually been inside a pair of hand knit socks... maybe soon!).

And I was not surprised in the least when this purple yarn was chosen and came home with us. It's actually a little darker and a little more grape-like than the picture lets on.
A true Elise purple.
Of course I tried to sell her on my interpretation of purple, but it didn't work.
Eh, looks like I win since it still came home with us.
So wish my luck- I haven't been much of a sock knitter in the past years.
What's your favorite way to knit a sock?
