Knit two, purl two...

Every stitch a wish -

Every click a thought

to keep you warm -



a call for comfort

all across the miles

between us. 



I've threaded in the sky

for you - some clouds 

are in there too -

the odd stray hair 

may have vined its razor 

gleam around the yarn; 

my autumn fall 

I can't prevent it.



Tweeze it out -

discard, but know

that every other thread 

is fixed with love.

Knitting and crochet! Lovely to think about the person who'll receive the gift as you knit, and relaxing but nice to feel you're producing somthing satisfying. Rhiannon

Ah, Bee, I can hear the click-clack of those needles from here.  I'm knitting my daughter a scarf for Christmas, hopefully this one...it was mean to be for her birthday in August, but....................sad

However, your lovely poem has inspired me to get cracking and jolly well finish itsmiley

Hi Bee

Lovely poem, with the swift movements of your fingers somehow reflected in the size of the lines of the poem.
