Perfect is all too often the enemy of good. Now to harvest this frame…. (Sorry, original maker. I assume that you, like me, hope your makes will be enjoyed once you’re done with them. If it comes off in decent shape, I’ll find it a new home!)

What were you trying to do? The hole looks like it was created by a yarn over. Were you trying to increase a stitch? There are some increase methods that make smaller, less noticeable holes - like picking up the bar of the stitch below and knitting into it :)

Finally, one of these little ragamuffins, as yet unnamed, is coming home with us. A tenant at my mom’s apartment complex was arrested, leaving behind three cats - including this pregnant one! Now there are 6 mini-hers running around :).

Ms. Agatha, queen of the house at the ripe old age of 1. She arrived via stork…or hawk, maybe? The open wound on her neck when she was found under my mom’s car at 4 weeks old says something rough. Now she has hand made blankets just for her.

It’s called social media so we can socialize, not so we can argue with dingbats we’d walk away from in 3D.

🤣 My grandma said “critmin” (Christmas) and my wife’s whole family frequently says “tree” (three). I think it was the theater as a kid? Or the imported television? Idk how I dodged it.
