I’ve been spinning and knitting for many years now. It’s a thread that runs through my life, from the day I first met Jeffrey, the man who was my husband for 37 years. It ran through all the years we were together, through life in a schoolbus, travel trailer, on the road and on the farm. He always supported everything I wanted to do and would be the first to tell me that I really did need to buy that new yarn. It ran right through the socks I knitted for him in the ICU to his death on October 8th, 2008.
Lon and I met in the ICU waiting room, while his wife Kate was ill. We became friends during that awful time, talking about all the terrible things we had to deal with. She died the day before Jeffrey and we continued our friendship. It eventually became something deeper than friendship. We married in 2015 and had several happy years before his death in 2020. I moved from Washington state in 2022 and live in Kansas now. I recently retired, so I have time for projects again! Feel free to check out my other blog, Not So Thoreau for non-fiber posts.

My p.m. reply to you today was blocked on Ravelry, so am trying this method to communicate. Check out this post from today on American Thinker: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/06/knitting_social_network_with_8_million_registered_users_silences_trump_supporters_as_white_supremacists.html
I’ve been banned for 10 days, for calling them out on slandering people as racist. I did see the article last night. I do intend to come up with some actions people can take, if they chose to. We can’t let these people become the gatekeepers of our craft.
