Sadly, sadly I write to you now, acknowledging that I can’t work and knit as fast or as much as I need to. Tomorrow is another day and all that blabitty-blah, but I think I only completed 16 rows today. Not even worth a photo.Hell, I didn’t even hit Siberia…or whatever it is up there that’s on the Bering Strait.*O the agony of defeat…BUT.I will soldier on.After all, I now have and counting on me.*Okay, I checked:...
