On my needles

A jumper for one of the boys...just which one is undecided.

I also have another jumper partially finished on another set of needles...I know finish one thing before starting another, but you know how it is...

This poem just about sums it all up.

"A bit of a yarn with Linda..."

I heard some lovely news today 

a friend of mine across the way

tells be that she's having twins.

I must get out those knitting pins!

I'll start off with a bootie

but I'll have to make it four

and if they turn out really well

I'll maybe knit some more

but before I start the project

I'll have to go and look

in the spare room cupboard

for my bootie pattern book.

I opened up the cupboard,

what a sight there met my eyes

bits and bobs of knitting

of every shape and size,

held aloft a needle

oh my, what a laugh

three feet six of coloured stripes

it was going to e a scarf

Over in the corner

what is that I see

I started knitting that for Deb's 

and now she's thirty three!

It was pink and fluffy mohair

for keeping warm at school

I know why that got put aside

she said it wasn't coll!

Another project put aside

not seeing light of day

surely it can't be just me

whose knitting ends this way?

I pull out other pieces

hats, half knitted socks,

a teddy, jersey, cuddly toy 

and several barbie frocks!

Then amidst this woolly chaos

a thought pops in my head

when it comes to sewing-up

that's the part I dread.

Yet when my project's finished

my knitting's a success

I promise that from here on in

I'll do my very best

to finish all I started

though I've said all that before

so perhaps I'll push it all back in

and shut the cupboard door!
