From Susan — Is It Still 2020??

Is this the longest and strangest year ever??

In case you had any doubts, I’m the one on the right!! 🙂

Sally and I have been doing some knitting.  I am also on a potholder high!  I’ve been cranking them out for my dad, my daughter, and myself.  They are such a dumb little project — kind of like knitting dishcloths — but they are practical and necessary.

My first attempt was a fail.  When I got to the last edge to bind off, the lack of tension caused the whole thing to disembowel.  SO, I came up with an idea to use knitting needles to hold the tension on the bound off sides.  These are super long, strong DPNs, but I had planned on using old straight needles, which would have also worked.

I am also knitting.  When my daughter was a baby, I designed and knit her a baby sweater (she is 30 now).  I have planned for 28 years to recreate the sweater for others and sell the pattern.  It is in process and may take another 28 years at this point!! 😎
