Anyway, I have read 3(?) books in 2022, so I should post this and move on. And maybe someday I will finish some of my draft posts. And clear out my knitting/spinning projects. I should probably just give up on tagging/tracking yardage, as I still have things from 2020 to deal with. Possibly 2019. Blah. Obviously I like making things more than I like doing data entry.
