He says the family has a trunk full of hose she knit. Here are another pair knit by her hand that the MacGregor was wearing a couple of years ago when I first met him at the Stone Mountain Games in Atlanta.
Those are WONDERFUL!
What a lucky devil to have such a "treasure chest" and also quite lucky that at least SOME of them fit.
If it had been my Great-grandmother knitting, everything would have been a size 14.5 (grandfather) or a size 8 (father & great-grandfater) and I'd be stuck high and dry w/o a single pair.
