You solicited opinions from other knitters on social media, GHC. That's what "Thoughts?" means at the end of a post on social media, amirite? 🤷‍♀️🧶
I bet it's almost windproof now. 🧶
Once again, knitters, we do this to ourselves. 🤷‍♀️
Ladder back and fix it, my friend.
"JASPER COUNTY, Miss. —
All but one of the rhesus monkeys that escaped from an overturned truck in Jasper County were euthanized, according to officials."

For all of the current and former English majors and anyone who loves books and words, this is a lovely, beautifully written book that starts out with words on slips of paper in cubbyholes of a garden shed in Oxford, UK. It tells the story of the people who gave us the OED. Enjoy this treat.
