Currently: Firefly’s corn rows
I felt my way in crepuscular light
watching a movie, knitting it tight
Purling away by the touch of my tips
Needling two for future unrip
Row by row, I bury the hole
clueless, heedless, watching my show
Damon is good, Price is better
Gilliam rocks, knit two together.
Later I find: horror. SHIT!
It’s a gaping, goatse, unknit knit
Rippit, rippit, down to the blow
(Don’t tell firefly I screwed up her rows)
The dark is an absent trapeze net
Experts can do it; but I can’t yet
So take my wisdom if you want to know:
Knit with lights on; save four rows
Oh dear me …

I read your poem to my daughter and husband, they both loved it as did I. So witty and enjoyable, plus well executed. You had my daughter in stitches … no pun intended, honest.

Been there done that. And done it again anyway. And again, and again and again. Excellent poem!

You’d better be careful, you’re about to become the poet laureate of the knitting world.

I have knitted some, but always ended up ripping it out. Crochet is my forte.

Bloglily, et. al, I’m so sorry for not posting. I had a horrible war with the Ennui Nationalist Army, and barely came out alive. But, as knitting goes apparently, a finished object gave me just enough of a booster shot to get me back into the game. Again, sorry. But I am back!
