Or perhaps a good tickle.
Do you see how her hands are just a bit blurry? She just couldn't keep her hands from trying to work on that sock for the few minutes the exposure took. See sock knitters? This sock-knitting mania of yours has been going on for a long, long time!
This image is a daguerreotype, which dates the photo to about the late 1840's.

I love her. She reminds me of Colonel Potter from M*A*S*H. :)
Is she an ancestor, or just a random find?

Well, no one has ever accused me of being a lady, so I'll jump right in and suggest that she probably needed a whole box of prunes. Or maybe an enema. Then again, teeth would probably perk up that mug too!

You know, if I had to sit there for all the time photos used to take, I'd be knitting too. And I might even be frowning.
