Includes postcard from artist: “Dear Jessie, Jordana, or other Tatter library :) people! I’m very pleased my mask I knitted in April while Covid was peaking in Iceland is going to such a good future home. I also will come to visit the Tatter library in Brooklyn someday when things are better! Good health to all of you. -- Regards -- Yrúrarí -- 15.07.2020.”
