1. every blue knit stitch / brings closer spring and sunshine / warms heart and fingers
2. something about you / reminds me of worn aran / sweaters in rough wool
3. knit purl knit purl knit / the slow rhythm of ribbing / keeping me awake
4. i tell stories in / stitch after stitch and all these / memory patterns
5. i know the knits i / knit for my children won’t last / they’re small and perfect
6. two sticks and two hands / a simple ball of string make / almost miracles
7. each stitch I knit has / thousands of ancestors a rich / tactile history
8. the way light catches / yellow fibres makes patterns / blur into brightness
9. perhaps today would / be better if i just had / a moment to knit
10. the knitters’ voices / hush but needles continue / speaking in soft clicks
11. she forgets faces / names places but her hands can / knit and purl and rib
12. waiting for some news / I concentrate on knitting / stitches lull to sleep
