The Bathtub Swimming Experiment and Other Pandemic-Era Knitting Fables

When the pandemic struck, the brave members of the Ball's Falls Knitting Club decided to continue meeting at Zoom's. However, the closure and closure of her local yarn shop has impacted her knitting projects. Rubetta, for example, decided to start knitting fast and allow herself only three hours per project to give herself more time for her new pandemic hobbies: growing gerbils and writing novels in a language that she invented.

Meanwhile, Veraminta started to run out of yarn and had to get creative with all the blankets, pillowcases, and bath rugs at home.

Valma made one of her pandemic goals to learn how to style her hair and found that braiding was such a challenge that she felt the need to practice it on any occasion.

Mavis has taken a more artistic direction with her knitting piece and design commemorating the most important and fulfilling relationship of her pandemic life.

Luella had such a hard time concentrating during the quarantine that when she got tired of the new dress she was designing, she adjusted her plan to have sleeves up to the elbow and fringe up to the thighs. After all, she reminded herself, what was really important was a sense of accomplishment and achievement.

Aliviyah decided to prepare for life after the pandemic by making a new beach outfit. She was pleased with the result that resulted, but doubted its durability when it was wet, as her swimming experience in the bath was awful.

Janis was so busy working from home and teaching her twins homework that she tried to combine her line drawing projects with her knitting projects to have time for both.

Beverley decided that her pandemic knitting challenge would be to use all of her fi yarns in one project.

Like Veraminta, Donnelda had a problem with the lack of yarn, which she solved by making decorations for her existing sweaters with the parts she had on hand.
