[NFB-Krafters-Korner] I’m going knitting classes Tuesday/Thursdays

Thu Mar 4 23:21:50 UTC 2021

I was planning to call in tonight, but then I got so mad at my yard I ripped a bunch of my scarf apart and decided that was more important. There’s a big patch that was just horrid looking and I didn’t want to one minute starting now take the time with needle and thread to fix it all. Cancel timer
This learning thing being a beginner is for the birds! Or more shall I say the sheep? LOL
