I have been thinking of this Bill Cosby routine since yesterday. Specifically, around the 7:25 mark when his wife has her "conniption." I especially love the part where FIRE SHOT FROM HER EYESOCKETS!

I have now started and torn out my sock so many times, I am considering a change in the name of the pattern. The book calls it Simplicity, but I'm going to call mine the Obscenity socks.
