I Love Socks
by Judith Bakkensen
Yesterday I knitted my first sock. It took me all
day. As I knitted I thought about the millions of socks women have
knitted throughout history. And what about the foot coverings created
by the first people to protect their feet. Could our brains have
evolved even more quickly because we had to create coverings for our feet to
leave Africa? Just look at the foot. It has complex angles
and curves. It's not easy to knit a sock. It must have been very
hard to create a covering that would stay on these funny-shaped things on
the ends of our legs. Then to make another one just like it for the
other foot.
I love socks. These creations that help us move
quickly through the world and keep our feet warm and dry. If I could
have socks in every shade of purple, I would. Now I just have to knit
the second sock.
