New project completed! Easy pattern, just k1, p1 until it was long enough for my head & 15 stitches wide. My hair is ratchet today but my ears will stay toasty despite the wind.👂🔥

I guess this thing doesn’t count anymore… why are folks not suing ICE for these warrantless 24 hour holds & raids on their homes and businesses??

These people do know we’ve been able to image viruses for years, right? 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🦠
