Traveling Sock went to the beach today.
While Traveling Sock sat back and enjoyed the view, its knitter braved the waves and wiped out several times. (Strong surf, today!) She then proceeded to acquire a delightfully tender patch of sunburn on her left knee. The sock is not sympathetic, because clearly the knitter should have paid more attention when she reapplied her sunscreen.
The knitter had such a nice time that she’ll put up with it. Next time she will be more conscientious about her sunscreen.
