I have a YouTube channel "Doctor Gemma". Flash tips (1 minute or less) around surviving the pandemic and longer strategy discussions.
Buy Dr Gemma a Ko-Fi, if you're enjoying the podcast and feeling up to it. Remember that I am still working, though, so feel free to give the money to a charity instead.
I will NOT add you to any of my follower groups currently, due to robo-accounts. Please follow me here. You can contact me through our group on Ravelry or on this blog.
Warm Thanks :
MetroRebecca--Whoa! Generous gallon of ko-fi! Thank you!
Tiny Shiny Things--link to Merriam Webster on words with no English translation
Krickett--popped in to tell us about pandan: Pandan is a “strappy “ leaf from the Pandanus plant. Used in Malaysian and other Asian cuisines as a flavouring, and/or for wrapping food before cooking.
CConnieGail--in our Rav group discussion tells us about yarn twist, while she and SalPal1 are digging out of the snow. Nice llama, Connie!
