:D i miss you tooooooo~

but seriously -- it has instructions on making a 'Gentleman's Knickerbocker Stocking' !!! i don't even know what those are...nor do i know any Gentleman...but I Want To Make One. (only one though..>_<)

i think i should very much like to write a book as a Lady Expert Who Has Conscientiously Tested ...shoot. not sure where i'm qualified as an expert...
