Fourteen

There's a special someone who is celebrating a birthday today, and when I think back to the day that she was born, I can hardly believe how quickly the years have rushed by.  So many friends (and strangers) have warned me about daughters ... especially teenage ones ... but I have to say that this daughter has only been joy, silliness, and great love.  Maybe it's because we have a lot in common.  Maybe it's because she's a great communicator.  Or maybe it's just because she's who she is.  Whatever the reasons, I'm thankful and wish her the best birthday ever today.

I wanted to knit Miranda something unique and thought about another pair of leg warmers to add to her dance bag.  When I came across this pattern for yoga socks, I knew this was it.  Most dancers also study yoga and Miranda is no exception.  This is a terrific accessory that will keep her feet warm while still giving her the grip she needs while practicing all those poses!

I don't have a lot of sock yarn in my stash but last year, while visiting with Erin in Boston, I couldn't resist this ball of Berroco Sock yarn, and it's perfect for these yoga socks. 

I'll likely knit these socks again, but next time, I'll add another inch to the foot section.  This pair has only three inches and for a size 7.5 - 8 foot, four inches would be perfect.  We'll be showering Miranda with gifts tonight so fingers crossed that she likes these!
