Beautiful! Well done
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Well done, SE!

I wish I could do useful stuff like knit/crochet hats and mits. I don't like buying them because I have a habit of losing them so making them would be more economical I think.
