A pretty, lacy sock inspired by a poem by Dorothy Parker -- she speaks of threes and fours and the lace patterns reflect that.

from The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

Inventory:
Four be the things I am wiser to know:
Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe.
Four be the things I’d been better without:
Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt.
Three be the things I shall never attain:
Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye.
