Knitting for Emily

A young friend is going to have

a baby girl... Emily.

Don't you love the name?

There is Emily Dickinson

and Emily in _Our Town_

and you get the picture.

Just the name fills one with delight

and my knitting heart with projects.

See the hats above.

And I have one kimono finished

and another one on the needle and...

A friend suggested that I secure a booth

at the Woodstock flea market... no

not the famous Woodstock but close...

Woodstock, NY is the original art

colony dating back to the 1920's

Sounds like fun.

I'll get a tattoo and a cotton skirt

and relive the 60's.

Only I missed the sixties.

My father died.

My mother was ill.

I had three children under five.

No time to sit-in or march.

Husband read me the news

while I did dishes.

Anyway when I get to hat

number 100 I'll get a booth

and sell baby garments for

lots of 2009 infants 

not just Emily.

Have to go now.
