Yarn is the Daily Prompt at WordPress. Not a photo challenge but Michelle W says “Write a new post in response to today’s one-word prompt.” YARN
Spin it, weave it, hook it,
graft it, embroider, wind it in a ball.
Hoard it, stash it, collect skeins to knit.
Knit and purl mittens, ribbed pumpkins, scarves
no one in your family or list of friends
ever asked to receive.
“Mom, I think we all have enough hats. ”
Create shawls of comfort, like hugs
striped socks and hooded baby sweaters
with duck buttons or monkeys.
Think of the recipient while you repeat
the motions of each stitch.
In, around, down through and off
In, around, down through and off
In, around, down through and off-
off the needles.
Tens of thousands stitches with strands of yarn
turn into garments, stave off the chill.
Beautiful post Ruth – words and pictures 🙂
Thanks Rainee
Knitting is woven warmth ove for dear ones
One never has enough scarves or hats – just sayin’
Seriously ! I’m knitting them anyway
So pretty!
Recognize the yarn bowl and yarn you gave me for retirement?
Always a good day to lose yourself in your knitting.
Agree!
Love this post Ruth !! happy knitting, crochet, however you choose to work with yarn 🙂
Thank you Ruth. Knit on!
Beautiful colors.
YUM! Not quite the same “yum” as when it refers to food …… but still YUM!!! 🙂
“Tens of thousands of stitches…” – this is why I adore handmade gifts. The effort that goes into them speaks volumes to me about how much I mean to the individual who made the item for me.
I love the blanket my Nana crocheted for me!!! Never can have enough blankets!
I gave two my Gram knit years ago. I know what you mean about it being special!
I about murdered that (eh me unnamed) person who ruined the blanket! Such a comfort item!
