texture

one of the benefits of working two needles and 

a ball of yarn is this-

a new texture reveals itself in your hands.

baby blue alpaca moves between my fingers

the touch of spun wool a gift

repeating

smooth bamboo needles the color of honey

slide in and out of every stitch

creating

covers for hands, necks and new baby skin

flow from a single strand 

moving

in a particular fashion

a pattern emerges where consistency is revered 

leaving

behind a new beauty

a texture of seeds and purls, knits and cables

weaving

and always, some yarn remains

a stash or remnant from which consider anew
