We are now at the one-year mark for COVID-19 lockdowns, social distancing, toilet paper shortages, and mask wearing. Pandemic fatigue is real and we are all doing our best to stay healthy and cope with the hand we've been dealt. One of the hardest parts of social distancing is that humans are inherently communal and our mental health can quickly decline without companionship. We are also resilient and we will get through this challenge. Knitters are our favorite community and... staying connected is important.
