That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 31, 2018

Betsy Ross doing some side work.

Let’s see. At this rate, I’ll finish the scarf by 2028.

In the days before instagram there was instagranny. She would sew your image into a hankie.

The 10,000th pair of baby booties knitted, but still no luck.

Having never seen a purple cow, Aunt Dorothy decides to knit one, beginning with the front legs.

Whistler’s other mother.

“These old man-hands can still pick up a stitch or two.”

Whistler’s lesser-known Great Aunt Gerty.

“They said I could only work in blacks, whites, and grays. But I’ll show them….I’ll show them ALL! Bwaaahahahahahahaha!”

Oh I so do not want to see Aunt Dorothy’s naughty nurse costume.

Her hair in dreadlocks, and putting the finishing touches on her kufi, Dorothy’s Rita Marley of the Wailers costume is ready.

Just like the wives of present day sheiks, Dorothy enjoyed wearing all kinds of surprises under her chaste outer garments.

Mona Lisa just starting on her undies for black dress gig .

Having used up all of the gold left behind by Rumpelstiltskin, the miller’s daughter returned to her favorite pastimes, sewing and grumbling.
