Poetic Knitting

Somehow, this poem made me think of my knitting. The socks (or the beginning of socks) here are a nice mix of hemp and cotton, the hat all cotton; both are lovely yarns to knit with. The hat is destined for an Alaskan fisherman's head, and match the hat I knit for his new baby boy.

EXPERIENCE

by Emily Dickinson

I stepped from Plank to Plank
A slow and cautious way
The Stars about my Head I felt
About my feet the sea.
I know not but the next
Would be my final inch---
This gave me that precarious Gait
Some call Experience.
