Shapeshifter

The "shapeshifter" seems
to shift constantly reflecting
confusing and changing aspects.

Eg. the character is a friend,
and then a foe, and reemerges
as a friend again.

Me, I'm having my own issues with
shape shifting.

The darling little pink dress:
shifts and shapes and shifts.

The head opening is unwieldy.
Large and small by turns...
It will block out or in.

The plain knit expanse is boring.
The ribbed border offset
improves it some.

The whole dress is:
going to be too long.
I swear Frances will look
like a little ole lady.

It isn't long enough.
Too short for a dress.
Too long for a tee.

What can I be thinking of?

Short sleeves:
Only short sleeves
Frances doesn't do long sleeves.

Knit two inches beyond
the last raglan decrease...
Won't do! Maybe two and half.
Add a border.

Buy the child a dress
for God's sake.

Give knitting a rest!


Oh!
Did I tell you?
I met an old friend today.
And you should see
the baby sweater she made.

It had this lace panel
up the front and a fleck
in the tangerine colored
yarn...

Fabulous!

Maybe she would
send me the pattern.
