Seamless Garment

Bamboo circular needle # 6
my choice for best loved
knitting implement.

Cast on.

Join stitches
Carefully... don't twist
And you are off to
creating a tube.

A sweater, a hat,
no bulky seam...

In the 1970's
in my weaving years
I made both a poncho
and a plaid- yes plaid- afghan
woven in two layers
(at the same time)

Difficult to visualize?
Yes!
Difficult to do?
Yes!

After hours and hours
of fussy weaving:

Take a deep breath, pray,
(check your hem stitched edge)
cut free

OPEN

Hallelujah!
A miracle...
fabric double
your top layer
working width.

Like Chirst's robe
a seamless garment.

Seamless
a word to dwell
on today.
