And now for something completely different - Knitting and Crochet Blog Week Day 5

"This is an experimental blogging day to try and push your creativity in blogging to the same level that you perhaps push your creativity in the items you create. There are no rules of a topic to blog about but this post should look at a different way to present content on your blog."


"Why I knit"

Why do I knit? To make clothes that fit!

There's nothing better than a hand knit sweater.

That's what knitting's about

although it doesn't always work out.

Along the way

you might hear yourself say:

"The sweater's too wide"

or "There's a hole at the side!"

Remember that sometimes the road to success

can seem like disaster, a big woolly mess

That's what knitting's about

even when you rip out.

Don't give up! When your project's complete

your new cabled socks will warm more than your feet.

Your fair isle hat will make you so proud

and when you cast off you will shout out loud

"I made this beautiful thing!"

and when you wear it you'll feel like a king.

Now that it's finished, knitter beware

and handle your new, hand knit object with care.

If you wash your wool too hot, it will felt.

If you iron acrylic, it surely will melt.

But if you love it and show it you care

this could be something your grandkids will wear!

Το σημερινό θέμα είναι να εξερευνήσουμε κάτι διαφορετικό. Έγραψα ένα ποίημα στα αγγλικά για το πλέξιμο, το οποίο έχει ομοιοκαταληξία και δυστυχώς δεν μεταφράζεται! Η ανάρτησή μου αύριο θα είναι και στις δύο γλώσσες, όπως συνήθως. Η δεύτερη ετήσια εβδομάδα blogging για το πλέξιμο συνεχίζεται μέχρι και την Κυριακή. Σας εύχομαι όλους καλό μήνα και καλό σαββατοκύριακο!
