Recently we had a loss in our family. I have discovered something. Well many things.
1. The time spent waiting to talk to a wide variety of people to close accounts and utilities is good knitting and crocheting time. Speaker function eliminates the crick in the neck.
2. People are very nice when dealing with this situation.
3. Covid 19 has emotional effects on many people, including people with dementia.
4, The time spent reminiscing while looking through old photos is valuable healing time. Don't squander it.
My project during this time has been hats. I have a favorite based on Red Heart's Gotcha Covered #1. I work the hat in the round using the numbers this designer came up with, minus the extra stitch. The yarn is the generic Joann's fuzzy yarn in aran weight. I use the size 8 needles Boye interchangeable needle in 16 inch length. These are the only ones I can find. I also made a 1/3 size calorimetry. Both of these are for my granddaughter.
