Knit One Write Two

By Chris Leave a Comment

Last night I was at my Mum’s for tea.

After we finished eating she sat in her recliner chair and started to knit a football blanket for my nephews.

She’s 86 and recently started to knit again. It keeps her occupied and it is not a wasted effort unless she’s knitting a Collingwood blanket.

I wrote some notes in my folder about a screenplay I was working on.

She looked over her yellow patch of wool and said, ‘Oh, you’re knitting too.’

I said ‘What do you mean’?

”Your knitting with words’.

I laughed. She was right. Mums are always right.

I enjoy ‘knitting with words’ although I sometimes lose the thread and the pattern at times.

And the odd ‘pearl’ goes astray.

We both sat there ‘knitting’ and occasionally discussed the latest news.

And shared a creative moment.
