This week’s Think Write Thursday task is to write a love letter. It could be a letter to a person, an idea, a project, a dream, a wish, a relative, a famous person, an ancestor or anything (or anyone) else you can think of.
Well, as you could have guessed, today I share my deep love for all that is knitting.
Knitting, I love thee! I will gauge the ways!
I love thee in the knits and purls and YO’s
My needles can knit, and cables to slip
Even when there are many ends to weave in
I love thee without fail in every day’s
Netflixing or some audio-booking.
I love thee in a top-down pullover.
I love the joy of matching hand knit socks.
I love thy charts, repeats, and in the round
And when I grow old and my eyes weary
I will knit my love in miles of garter
With warm, bulky yarn on great big needles
Right sides and wrongs sides are loved equally,
And blessed are they that inherit my stash.

This is lovely, Kat, as is your photo of warm, beautiful knitting! I don’t know how we’d manage without knitting, especially in times like these, and you’ve expressed it beautifully.
This is wonderful!
Brilliant! And yes, large needles and bright lights at the retirement community!
Along with friends to pour the drinks and help us pick up any stitches we drop from our large needles!
This is fantastic! You win for best Think Write Thursday post!
Yes, knitting gets us through the best of times and the worst of times!!
Haha! That’s PERFECT!! Yay Knitting!
A beautiful sonnet and it says exactly what I feel. Thank you for sharing!
Oh Ye, of so many talents: knitting, spinning, making great Fri-YAY cocktail hours and now, poetry. What’s next?! I wait to be amazed!
Thoroughly enjoyed your words of love!
Cheers~
I love this – you know I’m crying reading everyone’s letters…but yours made me laugh out loud! hopefully we both have a few more years before we get to that garter stitch phase 🙂
The BEST! Clever and wonderful and true. XO
