I have been keeping my (scant!) sanity, while waiting for thing in my life to settle by knitting.... endlessly knitting.
two words have come up--
gansy (used describe a knitting design, one from an english sea side town..) -- i was wondering if it was a coruption of guernsey (from the islands, which also gives us jersey, a type of smooth knitting...as well as a name for a breed of cattle, from the cattle common bred on the islands, and the name of Whitman O'N state.) any ideas?
and
clock(s)-- a knitted design in a sock, found on the side "seams" of the sock (that is, in line with were the side seams would be on trousers, or a skirt, not up the front of sock, or at the back)
i rememer once looking up clock, and not getting to much information (basicly i got that it was a knit in design in a sock or hose!)
