Polite Smiles Abound
The polite smile - Perfect response when receiving a lovely gift like this young lady has:
"No, really, thank you Mrs. Dating-Your-Son-Just-Six-Weeks! Oh, my...flowers trapped in a spider-web are my favorite vest motif. This, gosh, well, you're right, it does look great on me -- I'm certain your son and I will be the best-dressed at his law-firm's Christmas party tonight, you're absolutely right. No, really, your comments on the ease of estimating my bust size really make me feel good about myself. "
See, she learned on Week Four that she should always wear her own stocking cap to his family's house, lest his mom provide one from her crafting closet. The knitted choker necklace, well, she couldn't refuse that, no matter how beltless her mustard slacks were. The 1970s were stylish, you know: the more polyester and wool against your raw, chafing skin, the cooler you were.

Granny squares!
& square grannies :p
My grandma made me hats like this -- they hurt my ears but awful. The wind went through the big holes and the knots hurt too. Ugh.
