Am I the only person whose immediate reaction to this is, "So tell the kid to make her own damned socks?" If she's old enough to have a refined sense of style she's old enough to knit. (Some days I think I managed to buy the Heartless advantage twice.)
(In only-tangentially-related news, I think I need to print off a copy of all my tags so I can use them.)

Color selection is critical, of course, and so is pattern, and even, stitch definition. Lelia can feel the purls on the sole of a too loosely knit stocking.
