Knitting keeps me from unravelling!


Hi, my name is Siw and this is my first step into a stitching blog, my previous blog was poetry based, and I intend to add a bit of fun by peppering the blogs with a little poetry that somehow ties into knitting and sewing.

I found this on the good old interweb the other day and I thought how appropriate to our current situation with Covid-19 this is.  People are sewing scrubs and bags, others knitting mask guards to save sore ears, all to help our wonderful if impoverished NHS.  Everyone is doing their part, either sewing, knitting, caring for others and staying safe in these unprecedented times.  

For me, knitting and sewing are my lifelines, reborn with the advent of my lovely grandchildren J and C, and this love is saving me from descending into gloom and despair as I miss my children and grandchildren and all that they bring, the hugs, laughter and boundless love.
  
Have fun and happy stitching.
