while trying to gather
the unravelled yarn
from the clenched teeth
of the mischievous puppy
hoping it remained
intact and unbroken
able to be wound up
into a ball or bullet
for future use
i realised it probably
wouldn't matter
even if it had
snagged and
snapped in two
as not all knitted items
are made of one
continuous strand
new and old can
be joined easily enough
overlapping or
weaving together
to finish any pattern
unnoticed by most
