Going Straight

It must be at least two years

since I have knitted on straight needles.

My heart doesn't belong to Daddy

it belongs to round needles or

most days sets of 6" sock needles.

I broke the barrier today

and knit headbands lengthwise

on straight needles.

I had enough leftover Sassy Stripes

to make headbands out of leftover

sock yarn.

Talk about a trip.

You put on the length you want

and go baby, go.

Knit a row.

Rib a row ( I twisted the knit stitch

by knitting in the back of the stitch.)

Rib for 2 and 1/2 inches. Bind off.

Sew your work of abstract art work together.

Visualize Peruvian inkle-loom woven belts. 

Say a prayer to the Goddess-of-Fiber-Arts

that that the dang headband fits.

The band stretches about 2 inches.

Knit  another one and another one.

I'm here to tell you,

it is addictive!

I'm going straight all the way.
