Every day that this goes on, it becomes stranger. Biden is behaving very well. There's an excellent BBC podcast called Americast. (Google: you'll find it.) I wonder if they have put one up yet about the current situation. Podcasts are wonderful for knitting-to.

 

I finished an Evandoon stripe while watching Helen last night, and was glad to see some of you there. I think the whole thing will be up soon, but I don’t have a link yet. There were some fascinating bits, including some very near here that I have had never spotted. And one near the end that look like Kaffe.

 

Sarah, thank you for the link (comment yesterday) to the mosaic art in the New York subway. Amazing! I told Helen this morning while we were trudging around the garden – she already knew, and was full of enthusiasm. The New York subway I remember – not all that long ago – was dirty and ugly and confusing. Much seems to have changed. Mary Lou, I’ll try her on the Library of Congress tomorrow.

 

Shandy, where is your blog? I have drifted away, and now very much want to come back.

 

And Shandy and Janet, thank you for news of the Harlot. I looked at Instagram, but it’s not the same. Does the Canadian government do anything for people like her who have lost all their income to the pandemic? The British government does, even for the self-employed, but it’s a bit capricious.

 

Knitting

 

Two more stripes to go, on the body of the Evandoon, unless I lengthen it.

 

I gave some (mostly unsatisfactory) thought to dp storage today. I had a message from someone – I thought it was you, Tamar – about using cardboard tubes. I can’t find the message, but I thought it a good idea, and the internet didn’t seem to have anything better. Someone did offer clear plastic sleeves, divided horizontally into four or five sections per page, and closed with a zipper. That sounded good, but the cost was preposterous, even for my extravagant self. I’ll start saving the insides of toilet paper rolls.
