SOCK YOU

!
When I asked my friend’s 12-year old
daughter whether the identically
styled yet different coloured flipflops she was wearing were sold
like that or had she actually bought
two pairs in different colours, she
just gave me « a look » wondering,
I’m sure, if I were for real. I guess it
meant she had bought two pairs, or
maybe not. Regardless, from then
on, I decided that with each pair of
sock that I would knit, I would add a
third one, of a different colour, just in
case…
And that’s how you get 4 equals 6. In
this toe-up spring sock, you have the
base pair, in coral, and one additional
sock in periwinkle and one in butter
yellow. So with 4 socks, you can
make three combinations and 3
times 2 socks equals 6!

4 equals 6
