Remember biology class in High School? I loved that class. Especially the part where we got to dissect things. Things like frogs n' grasshoppers n' stuff. NO, I do not like to harm small creatures. But once they've passed on, I found it very interesting to.. well.. dissect them and see what made them tick, so to speak.

We lived in Sacramento at the time, in a brand new tract home in South Sac to be exact. Right smack dab in the middle of acres n' acres of fields. Many fields of amber waves of WEEDS. Lots n' lots of weeds. With hundreds of jack rabbits almost as big as kangaroos. And thousands of grasshoppers almost as big as jack rabbits. I kid you not.

It was one such 4 or 5" long grasshopper that I selected to be my dissected specimen. And a fine specimen he was I might add. He was thee biggest and thee finest dissected grasshopper in biology class that year bar none. He won me an A+ and I still remember him today, lo these many years later. But I digress.

I happened to remember my dissecting days, and thought it would be fun to dissect my baby sock, so.... I did just that. And here it is. Now don't laugh!!

I used scraps of OPAL sock yarn on size 1 needles for a gauge of 8 stitches per inch.

NOTE: No socks were harmed in the making of this dissection.
