Knitting


Knitting

there is joy in creating
something hand knit
two needles in your hands
scrumptious fibers
wrapped around your fingers
the rhythm of the needles
creating repeated patterns
it is called the
"new yoga"

there is meditation 
in knitting
stillness of heart
in knitting
celebration of fiber
in knitting
there is a union of
kindred souls

knitting
laughing
designing
playing
sharing a love
for fibers
gathering together
knitting kinships
a certain fellowship
of the needles

knitting is beautiful
knitting is a talent
knitting is a coming together
knitting can save a life
it can calm the mind
and
heal the broken spirit
knit
