My hands move from memory,
I don't need to tell them
What to do anymore,
They just know
The needles click and clack,
Like a beautiful music
One you can't find on iTunes
They pull yarn loop through yarn loop
Forming it into a hat, a scarf, anything,
I have total creative control,
I can make anything,
I can do anything,
You can say a lot with words,
But sometimes I prefer
To show it through fabric
