Cathy Commiserations by Cathy Guisewite for December 02, 2020

Now that’s funny! And so relatable…

Cathy is a real "knit"wit! LOL

I have no ambition to do much of anything this season since we cannot travel nor socialize.

The holidays do bring out the ideas that would have been doable if only we thought of them 5 months ago. (Especially with the quarantine.) By now, Cathy could have knit herself a 3-piece business suit.

TOTALLY TRUE! Except I’m giving myself until December 31st this year. &, I am already a knitter. Merry Merry!

All too soon, Cathy will be knitting her brows.

One year I knitted a gazzion “skinny scarves” with a fabulous mix of yarns. One strand of that “eyelash yarn”, and a strand of something else held together. I used large-ish needles, nine cast on stitches, and they made up fast. I gave them to friends, enemies, strangers. It was great fun untill they went out of fashion.

We don’t have to turn on cameras for work meetings, so I join with audio-only, and knit through all my meetings

So many are struggling with the isolation. I hope you find ways to help you continue to cope with safety protocols. <3

Been there, done that! I get ideas at the end of the year and then I think that I can get it all done before Christmas. It doesn’t ever work. I have one project that I was planning to make but it’s going to take longer than I have so I’ll do it for next year.

Keep studying Cathy! You’ve got a few months to knit a swimsuit.

Maybe this would be a good time to stay at home, enjoy a calm holiday season and remember the humanity behind it and the reasons people have always been at their best this time of year.

Hey—hobbies (and distractions) like this can help pass the time … especially during the quarantine.

I’ve been learning to knit for 14 years…
