Haiku

As I sit, trying to untangle a mess that one of my knitters made with a center pull ball (don't ask me how, I don't know.... she took it home as a center pull and brought it back the next day a rats nest) I was thinking of haiku that I could compose that would describe the last weeks experience.



teaching kids to knit:
dropped stitches and yarn overs
all test my patience

Balls of yarn
wound as center pull
seemed to me a great idea
why is it a mess?



It was a wonderful experience and taught me so much about knitting and fixing mistakes. Gave me a newfound confidence to try things out in my own knitting. But 21 beginners to handle alone in only 80 minute segments is too many!

wish me luck for this week!

I agree with hakucho! I'm sure things will be better this week because you're a bit wiser now. :)
