While she hated wearing hats, my Mom, a nurse by profession who worked night shift for years, was an avid coffee drinker. She died last year, just days before her 67th birthday, after living with Rheumatoid Arthritis and complications for decades.

While the initial yarn was purchased a few years before ‘Raspberry Pi’ minicomputers were out, with all the coffee I’ve been drinking of late, thinking about my Mom, and the odd paths our lives have wandered (I went into computers/tech as my profession), it seemed apt to make a lighthearted pun in her honor.

Idk. Maybe it’s silly, but there it is. 《insert sad, wistful smile here》 I miss you, Mom.

If the pattern is useful, and you feel so inclined, perhaps donate something small to a local RA or Lupus treatment center near your location.
