| My earliest existing project: a Carnaby Street 'mod' when I was 17. About 6 inches tall |
Keeping my hands busy,
Needles and fingers flicking
In tune with my heartbeats. I have knit
Trunks full of yarn and many
Thousands of stitches
In rows enough to reach to the moon. It's as
Natural and necessary as breathing. A need that ties me with yarn to
Generations of past and future knitters.

Of course it would be knitting! Such a cool blanket.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great memory that you saved your first project:)
ReplyDeleteVery cool mod! I had a friend who loved The Jam and Paul Weller, and would've liked your knitted character. I learned to knit a couple years ago in my 40's, and I love it!
