i'm also thinking its time to knit dave another pair of socks. somehting taller this time since as mom says he's wearing big boy pants now. sigh. he's never gonna live down weraring shorts for 7 straight years of grad school i just know it. so i'm looking at some cottons and some yarns with stretch and i'm just thinking at this point. but its percolating :)
