ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to get all banged up and into traction to ever try something like that again...
My physical therapist made me knit and even (gasp!) crochet... But don't tell anyone. It's a secret!
I even made a cool sweater, so cool in fact someone stole it...
(Found out years later that my brothers had taken it out in the yard and burned it while I was at work, they despised it so much...)
But this cap of yours! It would make a swell kippah! Would that I still did "stuff" like that!
Bravo!
