- Oh, now *here's* a Queer Question (tm): what fraction of
- afghans are knitted and what fraction are crocheted? My
- granny could crochet a good-sized afghan in less than a day.
-
- (I suppose the puns on Afghans (the hounds and the hardy
- folk), as well as on minims, crochets, and quavers are now
- unavoidable. In the latter category, notated replies will be
- noted favorably; I get quivery (an arch reaction), though
- not quacky, over quavers and occasionally crotchety over
- both crochets and crotches.)
