This holiday I over-ate.
I drank too much. I gained some weight.
The bread! The cheese! The wine! The cake!
Have left me with a stomach ache!
I did not walk. I did not run.
But I got lots of knitting done.
I cannot make it up the stairs.
I cannot zip up my new flares.
I’ll have to stay here on the couch.
I’m stuck in this god-awful slouch.
For I have knit too much, you see.
Knit purl knit purl… it’s time for tea.
Cute!
Thanks, Joss!
YOU’RE A POET AND DIDN’T (OR DID) KNOW IT!!!!! LOVE IT
Hi, glad you enjoyed it. I couldn’t resist.
Well, if knitting doesn’t work out for you, you can turn to verse 😉
I think not. I’ll keep my day job.
Thanks! You made me smile on a dreary morning…
Thank you. Everyone needs a bit of whimsy sometimes.
agree
Fabulous! My favorite post so far!
Says absolute knitting dead loss

HI Sandra, I knew when I wrote this that you would like it. Happy New Year to a fellow Seuss fan!
I identify with that scenario, sadly…I’m trying hard to get back on track, but the January doldrums have me firmly in their grip. Time to have another cuppa and pick up my Rams and Yowes!
Oh yes, I am waiting impatiently to see your Rams and Yowes! Such a lovely pattern. By the way, I noticed just yesterday that Kate released a doggie coat version of Rams and Yowes; have you seen it?

I know, isn’t the coat just the cutest thing? I’m running out of two colours for the back side of the blanket, so I’ve put it down until I decide what I’m going to do…spring $20 for a ball of white (I made a substitution for the other missing colour), or wing it. Right now, I’m tending towards winging it because I want to see this project DONE. I’ve got 16 rows left to knit. So frustrating, but knitting on my Rowan Madison is nearly making up for it. I hope to have an update soon!
