wool and solitude go together well for me.

i like to knit

in the dusky quiet hours

just after my kids

fall asleep.

i like to knit in bright

noisy rooms as well,

but there is something

about knitting alone

that i find extremely peaceful.

so when

this morning’s sun turned to afternoon rain

and my youngest

decided to play contentedly

with his trains,

i sat myself down

near a window

and had a little knit.

solitude wool is new to me,

i fell almost instantly in love with their artisan yarns.

this is the kind of yarn that as i pick it up i am moved by how

suddenly connected i feel to the sheep

who wore it first.

a new project

started in such sweet fiber

on a bright grey

afternoon

couldn’t help but make

me smile.

 see that

was just what

today was missing.
