Just Stuff

I can't crochet anything but a chain, but seeing things like this make me wish I could.

This is from Willow Yarns --- I got the catalog today.  Very bulky yarn, made with a size 19 crochet hook.  Knowing what a 19 knitting needle looks like, I can only imagine a hook.

I'm still plugging away on books, and on my second or third pass on my jigsaw puzzles.  Watching movies, too.  Old, old, old Boris Karloff ("The Dark Old House"), black and white Frank Sinatra ("Suddenly"), vintage Gregory Peck ("Mirage"), a re-watch I'd been planning to get to ("Fitzcarraldo").  

Covid cases in Athens have tripled in the last three weeks.  School is starting tomorrow in a county right next door (as in less than a mile away from this house.)  It's been forever since I've left the house, so I don't know what things are like "out there."  School here has been delayed until after Labor Day, and UGA is scheduled to get back into session on August 20th, though lots and lots of faculty and staff are not happy with the "plan" UGA has in place.  It's a mess all around.
