[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Loom knitting night before Christmas

[hosbornejr at gmail.com]

Hi Shelley, oh, you just had to find one said this Loomer with a groan, why
couldn't you just leave it alone?
My Loom tool is flying and my looms are spinning as I sit here a looming and
a grinning.
There are hats, scarves and mittens all over the floor, and, what do I hear?
I have to make some more.
My stash is shrinking as I sit here thinking I should have taken up auto
repair!
Happy Crafting to all, and, to all a good night!

Loom knitting night before Christmas

 

'Twas the night before Christmas all the candles were lit, All I wanted to
do was sit down and knit.
The knitted mittens were hung by the chimney with care, But I still had
twenty-eight more gifts to prepare.

 

Slippers galore were strung everywhere,
And I could not remember what went where, As I watched the Christmas tree
glow, I thought, where did all the time go.

I had three hundred sixty four days to prepare, But suddenly here we were
without a moment to spare, Strings were hanging loose everywhere, I now have
myself in despair.

I should make these hands knit faster,
Why oh why am I not the Hogwarts headmaster?
If I was, I could have twenty sets of needles shaking, And all my gifts
would be done for the making.

 

This year I have been to every knitting store, Between Colorado, Ohio and
more, I have collected yarn for a hundred more knitting, But all that is
happening is my hands are splitting.

A sip of eggnog will cure my woes,
I should knit an afghan to warm my toes, Oh, wait back to the gifts undone,
For a minute there I thought I was done.

A check list I must perform,
Who in the world is Norm?
How did all these people get on my list?
Now I have myself in a twist.

 

A sip of eggnog will get me back on track, Before I fall flat on my back.
Knit knit is what I must do,
Faster faster what is next in the queue.

As the evening winds down, I think of what is pressing, I will just sit and
count my blessings, I think how lucky I am to be a knitting teacher, I get
to hang out with so many fun creatures.

A sip of eggnog and a bite of cookie sheep, Will be just what I need to keep
me from falling asleep, Oh twenty five more bookmarks I must knit.
For all those ladies I love, even the Brit.

 

I think this list just got a little longer, I must make this eggnog a little
stronger.
Maybe I will just plan some more knitting classes, As soon as I can find my
glasses.

A sip of eggnog is what I need,
To bring my knitting up to speed,
I must remember next year not to knit,
Any Christmas presents, I must quit.

I will put a note in my planner,
I can make a no more presents banner.
The thing I must do is finish this Fair Isle sweater, For MY most important
girl to wear in this cold weather.

 

With another sip of eggnog, I head off to bed, The thought of knitting still
in my head, But before I do, I wish all of you, Merry Christmas to all and
to all a good night!
