So, I haven't exactly known what to say lately. I know a lot of people are really struggling right now. There are so many people who have been affected negatively by this national shut down. There is the stress of being essential and having to go to work every day, or losing a job, or financial insecurity.
We are sooo lucky. I work, but I work for myself and I have stopped for the time being. I hope that my jobs are still available when this ends, but if they aren't it won't be the end of me. My husband is able to work from home. My kids are young enough that they aren't devastated by not seeing friends and being at school. All in all we are enjoying our time together. I almost feel bad saying it when I know so many people are struggling. I hope that you are able to find things that make you happy in this crazy time. In an effort to bring some joy and companionship, I am hosting a virtual knit night. It will be tonight at 9 pm EST. As I have never attended a knit night in person, I would appreciate any advice that you may have for me. :) It will be through Zoom and you can access it through the link below. I hope you will stop by.

I found your website name in an article about racism within the knitting world. Ugh. As an older Black woman, having lived long enough to say "ugh" behind everything in the universe being racist, I was intrigued by what happened to you at "the other knitting site". In the article your website was listing. This title "new normal" caught my attention. I have always focused on word usage. And, in this dawning of the age of virus-mania, I see that phrase used way too much. The funny thing about it's use is that there is no such thing as a new normal; something is either normal or it is abnormal. I could go on but will stop with just that thought about the words and phrases we use. Thank you for taking a stand with your website.
