We can get through this together.



How is everyone doing?
My days are filled with knitting.
I don’t know about you, but I have been knitting much more than usual during this time.  Knitting seems to be my lifeline to keep me sane and grounded and brings some happiness into my days especially when I am knitting for others and thinking of them.  It also makes me mind less that I am not leaving my home.
But when I was listening to my husband talking on the phone with his brothers and sister in England to check in on them and saying “ Doris gets up, starts knitting and keeps at it until she goes to bed by which time she has knitted about 100 cubic feet of knits”, I had to chuckle , but also I had to pause and think about that this social distancing does not mean to detach and go into ourselves, but it means only to stay apart physically.  Emotionally we are in this together and we need each other to uplift and encourage.  Let’s put our needles down for a little while today and call a friend or loved one and check on them, make plans for the future, because there will be a future.
One of my favorite songs is the one the Liverpool Football Club has adopted as its motto and which is sung by the supporters before every game.
YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE
You’ll never walk alone


Even our cat has friends who come and check on him.  They keep the social distancing staring at each other through the window. 😺. They stare at each other for a long time each day.  The one outside just got distracted in the picture, because a rabbit hopped by.


And last, but not least let me share some of my most recent projects.
