Everyday I knit a new row.
Needle moving back and forth in a familiar rhythm.
Arms outstretched as I hold my work in front of me.
Mesmerized by my plethora of mistakes.
I unravel the lines I knit today and yesterday, further and further till the spool of my lifespan is fully untangled in front of me.
I knit and knit until I put my work down and go to rest.
When I wake I knit a new row.
Holding my work out I see a pattern I know well.
Holes and gaps.
I unravel and redo, unravel and redo.
I'll do the same today, tommorow and overmorrow.
My yarn forever tainted with mistakes.
Every improvement doesn't last long.
One step forward three steps back.
