Restless Hands' Projects - 1
During the second summer of the pandemic, I picked up a new hobby – refurbishing and refinishing wood furniture. In the first pandemic summer of 2020, I polished my life-long knitting skills and art of knitting without patterns, just from my head and hunch, which I wrote about here on Vocal as well. I loved discovering new natural yarns and experimenting with them, but then I decided I needed something completely new to do. Something that years later I could boast about, “I’ve picked up a new hobby during the pandemic.”
