Thanks for reading; tune in next Tuesday for the next series!
interesting contrast between her making sox for Rob and the "holeproof hosiery" mentioned a day or two ago. I read somewhere that socks were one of the first types of clothing to be mass-produced...as far back as the Civil War IIRC. I wonder why Carrie is making sox instead of buying Rob some.
ReplyDeleteProbably because to her they were made from the heart and warmer.
