One lady, several months later, could not figure out the heel + pretty much had a break-down. I had to take the sock out of her hand + replace it with a simple sweater she was working on. <br /><br />I'm sticking with scarves + hats.Shona~ LALA dex presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07997153789350766344noreply@blogger.com
