Knitting Gone Wild
When you are knitting socks and sweaters and scarves, you aren't just knitting. You are assigning a value to human effort. You are holding back time.

There is some good in the world and it's worth fighting for. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien Two Towers Remember my book challenge for 2019? My goal was to read 20 books last year. I came so close with 19 in total.
