Love Letter From a Ball of Yarn to a Knitting Needle


Before we met,

I was a ball of fret,

But you have helped me to unwind,

And have been so kind,

So that when I'm with you my heart skips a stitch,

I'm simply, unobtrusively, utterly bewitched

 

Because when I'm wrapped around you,

It feels like we can create something new,

The whole world can be warmed up by our affection,

But it's only ever been you who has had my attention.

 

I know you’re a bit inflexible

But you’ve always been dependable,

And though you have history with many long wool and cotton strands,

I really think our connection can withstand,

I can’t help it, I’ve become attached-

I know it's fast, but we are quite the match

 

Because with you I want to wear my fancy purls,

I feel like such a special girl,

You support me when I let loose or am uptight,

So that it all just feels so right,

And we always stay together with every row,

Which proves how far our love can go

 

Together we have gone a foot,

And I’d love for your input,

But we've been through so much and I love you a lot

So maybe we should tie the knot?
