Knit Haiku

Ooooo Knit love!

I found this great Japanese knitting site while looking for language translators for my japanese knitting books...

It has patterns (some in English) and really beautiful and funny photos...and.... Knitting Haiku!


The full wool yarn skeins
in the shops
tell the autumn has come.


One more stitch...
One more row...
Ah..! It's dawn!


How many people have touched
with their cheeks
on this soft yarn skein?


I hate all these
15 rows
over the mistake.


Praising her work,
I mumble to myself
"I can do it, too."

Autumn winds
always drift me
into yarn shops.


and Not-Haiku:


Didn't you praise
the botchy scarf
knitted by the young girl?
How can you
give the cold
to my paramount sweater?


Secretly, I turned over
your new hand knitted scarf.
Did you know how I was happy
when I found a brand-label on it?

knitting camel from across the seas

Do Camels cross the wide seas???

Anyway, The knitting camel caravan arrived yesterday at my house from far across the seas! Dear Marky sent knitting gifts that will keep me busy for a long, long time...



Knitting needles click:
a cup of tea scents the air,
The new shawl begins!



So, I started a new shawl that I like far better than the one I was making. This one is my own design, taken from several of the lace patterns in the books from Marky. I'm using a non-striping sock yarn in shaded blues, combined with light blue Kid Seta mohair and silk. It’s beautifully soft, and I'm still trying to finish it in a week! I've got a couple of feet done, while watching a Project Runway marathon. I'll knit more tonight because I have the new Pride and Prejudice to watch!
