Still, no compensation for losing our creature comforts is there? Mashed potato is my happy food too, actually, any type of potato! Thanks for the sock encouragement, hope to get to the heel at the weekend, been too busy the last couple of nights to pick the needles up.<br /><br />Hugs<br />BrendaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8080816235590144089.post-19429672754327531512012-01-06T13:50:55.008+01:002012-01-06T13:50:55.008+01:00All sounds very pioneering.
