    Oh, those do look great! Thanks for sharing.

    I am so glad that the buffet led to such a positive exchange. Makes all my hard work in organizing it worth it!

    It seems that the knitter is in Canada. If so, were there any duties or import issues?

    No. Nothing. I recieves them shortly after she shipped them and there was no issues what so ever.

    Marvellous hose, Cowher!
    As for the number of that noun: when you are talking of a garden hose, or any other kind of hose used for conveying liquids or gases, it has a singular and a plural (hose, hoses).
    But when talking of socks or stockings, it is simply hose.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Why would you think there would be duties? We've had Free Trade for almost 23 years now!

    Doesn't matter there are still duties on a lot of things (like soft lumber too note the most known). That's why I get shipping done but USPS instead of UPS or Fedex those two rape you on the duties.

    The plural of hose is hosen, though it is an antique form - my grandmother used it but
    I have not heard anyone else use it naturally.

    Shoe also took the same form, shoen, and house, housen.

    The use is a bit weird - you have several pairs of hose or shoes, two or three houses, but four is hosen, shoen or housen.

    According to my friend Mack Daddy, one Ho is as much trouble as two, so you may as well have both.

    I agree. The hose appear to be made from big yarn on big needles*, which would make them fairly quick to make.


    *To me, anything over sock weight and size 2 is big yarn and big needles.

    When given a choice, most people will choose.
