Hey, Graham, hold on a gosh darn moment. Now what the world is Helen doing with the thick wool? My mom, when she was a live boy, she made these beautiful Alaskan-type sweaters with you know, mousse on them and all kinds of patterns, fish jumping on, kind of thing. And it was out of this really just amazingly thick wool. And I guess back then it wasn't that expensive. I imagine it's pretty spendy now. But did you say that Helen is knitting something? Well, you know Jack, she's knitted all kinds of different bits and pieces and that jumpers you're talking about sounds awful like over here in Scotland we have Aran jumpers. And yeah, he obviously came from the Isle of Aran and Aran wool and it was kind of thick, hunky wool and everything else and made some wonderful warm, warm jumpers for the winter and all different patterns and everything else. What you described is very similar. The wool that Helen's working with just now is several times thicker. It's really, really thick wool. Yeah, and it's growing awful quick but you don't use needles or anything else. It's just all by the fingers. It's hand knitting. So no needles whatsoever. It's just weaving away with the fingers there and doing this. So she learned all about it on the Internet a couple of weeks ago and today's her first go. But you know, Helen's always the same with all these different crafts here Jack. You know she does all the research. Once she starts it she becomes an expert straight away. Then gets bored and wants to go on to something else. We'll have one blanket. I don't think we'll have another. Hi, hi. Back to you sir. GM 0. 8UB.
