… and I won’t knit for nobody but me. You know, like the song… Love Machine… anyway.. that’s me, lately, working for nobody but me.

We needed a couch, one that could withstand growing people who flop rather than sit and a cat’s occasionally claw honing. I kept going back to this and this; only, I knew this…
