The Zen of Knitting

It's a beautiful thing - rosewood needles looping a new row of yarn through the previous one.  Making slip-knots, really, and watching them grow into a shawl, or a sock, or a sweater.  Creating the open spaces of lace knitting to produce an airy scarf.  Knitting around and around in a circle, creating a strawberry or Lorax to warm the head of a toddler.

Meditation with needles and yarn.  String art. A quiet spirit.  A gift.
