to keep my toesies warm..

Did you ever have those ridiculous little pet peeves when you were little? With me I had to have my socks on just right. They had to be on the heel the right way, but more importantly, much more importantly, the toes had to be right. They couldn't be twisted in anyway, and the little bump on the top had to be lined up just right. Plus if where the seam met had too much of a bump I couldn't wear them. It was a challenge being a little girl and putting your socks on, it took me several minutes. They were too uncomfortable if they weren't on right.
All my socks had to have lace on them. The kind that didn't have lace fit funny. So, my mom would buy regular socks and put lace on herself. She used different things like yarn and ribbon. Those socks were better, but they still felt a little funny, not as bad though. Plus my mom put so much effort into making me these socks, I just couldn't tell her they weren't quite the same.
Nowadays, I'm not quite so picky, but it also helps that I can actually put my socks on myself.
