Well, David, go right ahead and MAKE one! Hugs, Noreen

Maybe the writers of the patterns realize you'll need the encouragement to get the second sock started? Don't know myself: think I have a pair started somewhere, and I *think* I started both at once so I wouldn't quit after one was done. Lot of good that did, if neither are done, huh?

there are some funny ole sayings around aren't there? When I'd copy my brother whistling tunes my gramps would say something like. A whistling woman and a cackling hen is neither use for God or men...

lol...his way of saying shut up I guess....lol cher

adding bulk maybe David? Or maybe they can't swim, so are lining their tummy's with wood so's they'll float.

Crowing hen! :))

LOL Cher, my Mom used to say *almost* the same thing....

A whistling woman and crowing hen (because roosters crow, not the female hen) are neither good for God nor man.

When I asked her what that meant, she said that *her* mother used to say it when *she* would whistle, and that it meant that it wasn't ladylike to whistle. ;o)

yep that is how I know it:)

Hmmm, spinning a yarn, aren't we Cher? *chuckle*

David

Oh was it ... well I was only seven when he went on through those pearly gates and I've never heard it since, but obviously said in your part of the world too then O?

Cheers..Cher

Same as shut up then, now why did they think it wasn't ladylike....especially for a seven year old as I was at the time, I took absolutely ages to learn to whistle too, and it was such an achievement....lol

you know me so well already, I'm rarely serious, and lurve to play.....lol

Yes indeed. Said to me when caught whistling:) That was Yorkshire btw:)
