The Americans are very impressed with hand knitted anything and are willing to pay {by my standards anyway} silly prices. Mebbe changed now but I doubt it. The ones with money will always have plenty.

Sorry for being the party pooper! 
For example, the 'Spanish' flu*** of 1918 killed tens of millions of people round the world.
Doctors and governments have known the risks of deadly pandemics for hundreds of years. Measles, the Black Death, Smallpox... etc.
That is why they were getting so scared when Sars 1 came along, and Swine flu, bird flu, Ebola and so on...
Government research a couple of years ago into the risk of a Covid-like pandemic concluded that it was highly possible that this could happen and that we would not be ready for it. They ignored the report's findings...
Many people STILL aren't taking this SERIOUSLY enough. My sister actually asked me yesterday if I wanted to go to spend Christmas with her in Devon. If that isn't an example of the stupid "You CAN, but you SHOULDN'T" message, then I don't know what is!
*** Strictly, 'American' flu, since it is now known to have come from a military camp in Kansas.
That is absolutely incorrect!

Been out for a look at my front garden. That is as far as it goes for some time yet as I hope something will appear to hide the weeds.
Snowdrops are showing through as well as what are probably daffodils. There is an albino one down there somewhere but I may have given it to DIL who is keen on gardening. Something else is also showing but not sure what it could be. Different from the daffs and could be bluebells but a bit too early for them I think.
There is also a hydrangea which needs drastic trimming but a saw is needed for that. My tubs are a bit scrappy tho' the wild strawberries are in flower. Weeds are growing through the mesh so I really must get some enthusiasm gathered up.
A neighbour is a fanatic and spents nearly every day digging out weeds. They have a cat which I noticed the other day leaving her a little present for the next time she gets her hands in there.
