done up in spud & chloe ‘outer’,
has so much personality.
turns out that this guy
is just bursting with personality.
he likes flowers and playing with friends.
he tries hard to blend in
as he waits under the kitchen set
hoping for scraps,
and he really likes to read by sunny windows.
smile.
giggle.
ahhh.
improbable
as it may seem,
a size 11 double pointed needle
when fumbled
clumsily onto my front porch
(while waiting with my daughter for
my son’s bus to bring him home to us)
will fall silently and in seemingly slow motion,
teeter on the edge of the wide space
between the nicely weathered boards,
then just when you’re sure that all is well,
(and it is too late to act anyway
even if you move dangerously quickly)
drop into the dark unknown –
the far reaches –
a territory that we call,
with a slight shudder, ‘down there’.
now,
this may delay
progress being made
on this snuggly toy owl’s ears,
but it will not
– and i repeat ‘not’ –
stop things completely.
i am making it work on just 4 dpn’s
because 3 of my kids
(and even the baby asked with his big brown eyes)
already requested exactly which yarns they would like to have theirs knit up in.
(note to self: letting the kids play in my stash might be best avoided in the future…)
