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.

Don't Know Yet--a year in blocks-- onward! Seaming experiment:
19 x 19 blocks!
18(19) squares=361 squares. And extras
Arranged, photographed, and clipped. Rows 1-12 sewn together, ends woven. Row 14 is now sewn on to the body of the blanket . Row 15 is now clipped to the body of the blanket and getting its long edge seamed. Row 16 is now getting its short edges seamed. That’s 266 (74%] blocks out of 361 done!
