I had intended on naming these socks after my great grandmother, Emily Caroline Plowman but the socks ended up just to substantial. Years ago my mother shared Emily was a very dainty lady who wore lots of handmade lace which Emily had her daughter in law starch and iron each week! Emily definitely had illusions of grandeur! So as the socks were completed, I realized they should be named after my great great grandfather, Jonathan Plowman. They reminded me of the nice straight rows a plow makes in the soil as it is being tilled and great great grandfather did acquire many many acres of Illinois farm land in his lifetime.
