"x" is for

..."xciting!" ok, i am stretching it here.

i was asked by a dear friend to design some socks to promote autism awareness. autism affects one in 110 children. The symbol for autism is a puzzle piece which is featured on the heel flap. the mosaic pattern on the leg, hopefully, gives a puzzle "flavor" to the socks.
