Bitches Get Stitches

the great thing about friends
is they give you permission
to breathe.

or in this, particular case
an opportunity,
an excuse.

so many “reasons”
(excuses, really)
kept me from knitting.

but then, a perfect storm:
rhinebeck and
bubblestar.

(there’s another ingredient, a catalyst,
but i can’t write about
everything,
now,
can i?)

i made a hat.and then another.
and another.

(apparently, there’s a shawl happening, too.)

and somehow, suddenly,
i’m a knitter again.
thanks, anna.
