A Midnight Knit & A Really Bad Poem

Some people are really good for you: like chamomile is good for a snotty nose; and handwarmers are good for the ...hands....

these handwarmers were a super quick and easy pattern...

    I now have two: one is (kind of poorly) seamed. And the other is blocking..

So. 

To a Drummer Named Dusty

It is Cascade 220,

a heathered

 shade 

that the knitters know--

too well.

And I do not know you

too well.

But if you find

a glove that reaches a bit

a ways above your hand,

but stops short of the second knuckle--

if you find a knitted moss creeping

like a strange vine 

around your thumb:

Please know...

I knit this,

and I knit this well,

but, fuck you, for never

returning the glove because

I knit the moss again,

I knit the vine again,

and I knit it like armor--

I knit it up tightly:

too well.

That's a really bad poem and I know. But it's supposed to be funny. 

Remember how I said some people are really good for you? 

        I have many of those people in

 my life these days: it is good. I appreciate the chamomile people who help me keep my nose free of snot.

           

<-------I wish I had a better picture. The double moss stitch is really cool. I mean, like super-gravy cool.
