Hiya 😀
I had a laugh writing tonight’s poem!
I don’t get enough time to fit all my hobbies in my weeks any more. I think I have mentioned before that I re-taught myself to knit for the 2006 world cup, so that I could keep hubby (actually boyfriend at that time) company on the couch without dying of boredom? I knitted him a scarf in Arsenal coloured stripes, just to get used to garter stitch again.
Fun and chilled-out, pre-kid times…we were on a different couch, with a baby, by the 2010 football extravaganza!!
I have met a few (!) lovely people online who are not afraid to have a chuckle on knitting sites, back in the days when I was pretty much couch-bound while I was in the latter stages of my first pregnancy. I was thinking, as I wrote it, that they might appreciate the following…
Collar Toothbrush Money Knit Smell Wilderness Sparkling Delightful Spade
I was obsessing about the collar
As I loaded my toothbrush.
Oh, if I only had limitless money
And could knit away my days!
Just like the smell that says
“You’re entering a bookshop”-
There is that feeling of having been lost
In a wilderness bereft of colour;
Until – AT LAST – you set foot in a yarn store…
And your soul starts sparkling
At the sight of all that delightful fluff!
Oh! If I could only have my way,
I’d dive into a vat of fibre;
Swim to the very bottom in ecstasy –
Squashing, squeezing, squishing (while squealing)
Hours later: exhausted
I’d have to be dug out, with a spade…
The above is obviously (?) a piece of nonsense, but I do find myself standing sighing at my craft cupboard now and then. Pawing at it a bit, and whining. My parents did a stellar job of helping with fixing this sliding wardrobe together to hold all my crafty lovely things, and I’ve not really had a second to even attempt to sort it out. That’s what happens when I get a crazy idea to start a blog, and therefore stop procrastinating with yarn.
I need to have another go with my needles, and see what I can create. It’s been tooooo long.
