Guest CIT '59: I spect so, only it was my mother who knitted the sweater. (I never saw either of my grandmothers -- my parents married late.)

These days I never have to tie shoelaces. My shoes have Velcro, and on my boots they are tied at the bottom and I just loop them over the hooks at the top.

As insurance, I now know the difference between a square knot and a granny knot.
