Victory! by No Name
In the knitting it got dirty, so I washed the "great gansey". While being blocked it seemed to have all the virtues of wet sheet rock. Ah, but when I finally put it on, I understood, "This is how the fishermen stayed warm while fishing" (before synthetics.) This is how one can comfortably nap on...
