Crafting On



For yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision;
And today well-lived, makes
Yesterday a dream of happiness
And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day;
Such is the salutation to the the ever-new dawn!

~The Waldorf Book of Poetry :: Edited by David Kennedy

Knitting has a real balm for me this Winter, and so I've kept at it.  There are many things that I cannot say right now about how my life has changed in the past while, but suffice it to say that it has changed tremendously.  Knitting, along with the daily things of school and meals and love, has kept on.  I started the Hap Blanket last week, and it has been coming together easily.  A big square of garter stitch has a way of doing that, and I hope the edging will be as kind.  This is a blanket-shawl for Spring, for all that it means and for what is beginning in our lives right now.  It is a Winter season of life for me, on the verge of something very new.  The above words from The Waldorf Book of Poetry have been a wonderful comfort and reminder.
