My nan used to grow rhubarb but would water it with the pee from her overnight potty and then she'd wonder why we refused to eat it. LOL!!! I love all your socks, Pam. They look so professional and the yarns are lovely. I'm mostly knitting little bits and pieces for charity these days, they knit up quickly and don't take too much concentration. I hope you and Ben enjoy the snow, our little snow showers haven't settled; it's just nasty and cold and wet here. Have a good weekend.
