I used to find knitting very therapeutic - but its a winter thing, I think - warm fires and something really interesting on the box.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280161801824435219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-1153574349293696742006-07-22T14:19:00.000+01:002006-07-22T14:19:00.000+01:00Lovely piece.

It's amazing the way a pupil can go beyond the teacher, but could never have started without them.<BR/><BR/>It's a dying art, I hear the Fair Isle adbertised for knitters to come to and live there.

Maybe it's something about the rythme.apprenticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784785172285984036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-1153498206273000072006-07-21T17:10:00.000+01:002006-07-21T17:10:00.000+01:00Lovely 'twisting' Cailleach, liked!Lovely 'twisting' Cailleach, liked!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665385782194826703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-1153296306072297272006-07-19T09:05:00.000+01:002006-07-19T09:05:00.000+01:00Excellent - narrative, reflective, symbolic & simp...Excellent - narrative, reflective, symbolic & simply a fascinating depiction of a process arcane to anyone not experienced in it.

Sometimes i go into a wool shop and ust sniff in that wonderful smell of skeins, and dream. But i know i can't do both - knit and write. So for now i write. But one day ... I might just knit instead!<BR/>Loved your poem -I have been there - exactly there!Kay Cookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01791873464409271216noreply@blogger.com
