“There are many ancient stories of knitting, and there are even some that tell of knitting as a magic charm — spells that can be wrought in the stitches of sweaters, blankets, and socks for purposes known only to the knitter.”
~ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee in At Knit's End
“Assuming I am a pleasant companion
with rhythm and a voice
and I depart
my hands having been
placed upon your
walls,
my fingerprints
upon your glass.
I simply leave this mark of blue
blue print.”~ Blue Print by New Jersey poet Yictove (former host of the New York City Knitting Factory Series; his given name was Eugene Melvin Turk; his adopted name "Yictove" means "He will write")
Dear Readers: I hope I have been a pleasant companion this past year as I struggle to find my rhythm and voice. Thank you for stopping to place your hands and eyes upon my wall. With love and wishes for delightful new rhythms in the new year, Jelisava
