On this day in 1940, 300 German bombers raid London, in the first of 57 consecutive nights of bombing. This bombing "blitzkrieg" (lightning war) would continue until May 1941. (This is from the History Channel .) An eyewitness account can be found here .

An interesting crochet pattern I found is available here . It is a crocheted cover for a laptop computer. Hmmm, I bet it could be made with a knifty knitter too if anyone cares to try. Using two strands of yarn would give it extra padding against bumpings. Let me know if you make one with a knifty knitter (or crochet one too).

History trivia for today is that in 1940, Nazi German (during World War II) began the infamous blitzkrieg over London causing death and destruction by bombing the city. A first hand, eyewitness account of this time can be found at http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/airbattle.htm
