Winter Walk Knit (Not)
By Deborah Holt Williams
For winter walks there’s nothing better
Than a cozy handknit sweater.
Can I knit? I cannot.
All my sweaters? Thrift store bought.
But if I could … I’d cast on stitches,
Grey like clouds and winter witches.
I’d knit a row of sparkling snow,
Purl some purple shade, just so.
Embroider brown and broken leaves,
Crochet red berries on the sleeves.
Will I walk? I will not.
I’ll fire up my coffee pot.
Wear my sweater, watch the storm,
Then read inside, all safe and warm.
