“Knitting the Sky during the Year of Coronavirus”
The image is of a scarf I’m knitting, where each morning I knit two rows for one year using yarn that matches the color of the sky. The project came from a book called “Knit the Sky, “ by Lea Redmond. At the time I started, March 16, no one knew that the Covid19 pandemic would cloister us away from everyone for what looks like could be a long time— by the time I finish, I’ll have something that marks the year— and gives structure to the start of each day. I’ve added clear beads and grey yarn to mark days it rained—and white yarn with “bobble stitches” when it snows! The grey and blue and white strands capture the days of the pandemic. *Date entry: "3/16/2020-03/15/2020" -

The last resort
We began rationing our toilet paper quickly once we realized we had missed our opportunity to stock up. We assumed people would calm down and refrain from hoarding. We were wrong. I bought a bag of cheap terry cloth material and cut it up to use "for number 1only!" -

Theatres closing tonight - last set 5pm
This is an email sent by the President of the small, locally-owned movie theater I work at telling us that the theater will close down due to state-wide mandates that non-essential businesses close. It also suggests signing up for unemployment insurance, and what may happen once we are allowed to re-open. -

Better World
This tweet calls of society to emerge from the pandemic and work to create a better world. Far too many factors allowed for the rise and continued spread of the virus. Society is now facing the consequences of such an intense global crisis, and some of the struggles could have been avoided had appropriate measures been taken, especially in America. Had America had paid sick leave, free health insurance, etc., maybe the spread of the virus could have been slowed. While we will never know, we must do better. We must take what we learn from this and create a better world for all.
