Do people still make a deal about not wanting their kids to be left-handed?<br /><br />Here's a poem I wrote when I took up crocheting after the grandbabies started coming:<br /><br />Baby Afghans<br /><br />A baby's on the way <br />and doesn't every baby <br />need an afghan <br />made by Grandma? <br /><br />I always was a knitter <br />but if you drop a stitch <br />knitting is a headache <br />plus it’s hard to talk or listen <br />while tangoing two needles <br />through a cable pattern. <br /><br />So I picked crochet Crosshatch <br />from Ultimate Stitch Sourcebook <br />yarn from Wal-Mart. <br />Now twelve months later <br />I’m on afghan number five <br />and going strong. <br /><br />Let’s hook up for coffee <br />visit over doubles, triples <br />chains and skips <br />repeats and turns <br />'cause lots of babies <br />still need afghans.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Violet N.http://vnesdolypoems.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-10594772299872754982012-09-14T11:42:23.589-07:002012-09-14T11:42:23.589-07:00Yes, those are the colors of the floss, peacock an...Yes, those are the colors of the floss, peacock and chocolate brown being two of my favorites.

Otherwise, I'm going to have to learn more about stitches. Love the peacock,such a lovely surprise. I think it was the recent Lands End catalog that mentioned a finishing seam I wasn't familiar with. Oh, I've got to go find that word again and do the research. Thank you for sharing your poem and for making me think about stitches and seams.
