Steeks

Miss Grace learned
to swim in the deep end
this summer.

Kudos, Miss Grace.

And that set Nana
to thinking.

What would be
the equivalent deep
end for Nana?

No contest.
Steeks.

Steeks:
May be defined
as the knitting process
in which a garment
is knitted in the round...

With me?

And then the knitter
cuts between a line
of reinforced stitches
to create a cardigan
or add a sleeve,
make a neckline.

That's right.
You take your
sharp pointy scissors
and incise all that
lovely knitting.

Whew!

I am
still standing
at the deep end.

Not ready
to leap.
