Thanks for joining me in this (somewhat belated) round-up of what I knitted last year (2024). I was a bit sick for two weeks during the Christmas holidays, and then what with the general busyness at that time of year, I only got around to this video last week. Add to that almost a week for editing and uploading, and here I am finally am. During that week, I have sent many thoughts to LA and everyone suffering from the horrible fires there, and it may seem (and certainly feels) strange to post a video on knitting. My thoughts also went to the tragic events in Magdeburg in Germany before Christmas and, well, I suppose I will never not be thinking about such things. There is always suffering in the world, and it doesn't make the tiniest difference whether I post or not. We can feel both deep sorrow and sympathy and still try to carry on with our lives. It seems to be a constant challenge - but also a necessity. (These words are woefully inadequate to reflect my thoughts on all this, but I wanted to just briefly mention it. My thoughts go, in rotation, to other places in the world, too; these happen to be the most recent).
Sending everyone much love!
