We call it the Grandma Car, not out of fondness but because it seems that all the old people in our town have similar cars--same color also. the car is uncomfortable, does not run well and is huge. <BR/>Your socks for the Bennet girls are fabulous!!

I drove standard for 30+ years, but now I like to not have to shift gears! Maybe I am old and slow too! <BR/>I got a variegated green yarn yesterday to start the Embossed Leaf socks! Glad to hear they are a fun knit. I love them in the creamy white, but being a big fan of blue, I like those too!<BR/>I have a pair of socks in mind from the book Socks, Socks, Socks, that is, in appearance, Fair Isle. They will be on the needles as soon as I find some natural black, grey and cream! Summer is for knitting socks, winter is for wearing socks.<BR/>I love the fact that the Finnish word for 'purr' and 'spin' seem to be the same.

As for Mary, I think she might complain very loudly that hers are too fancy, but she would wear them all the time, and get angry if you caught her admiring the lovely pattern when she thought nobody was looking. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm very excited to see what you come up with for the other sisters.
