Herding the Words: Q1 2023

February 12, 2023

I’m instituting quarterly updates for both my writing and my crochet (the first wrangling the yarn post will appear next month) mostly for my own benefit; having things to talk about depends on me actually doing things and thus gently encourages steady productivity.
