12/24/2004 Entry: "Knit Poetry"

I kept reading on the knitlist about a scarf called Clapotis (mostly people asking for yarn substitution ideas since the yarn specified in the pattern is rather expensive). I finally checked out some URLs posted with pictures of scarf examples made with different yarn, and found Thirteen Ways of Looking at Clapotis, poetry about knitting by Cari Luna! The poems are patterned after a group by Wallace Stevens. Nice pictures of the scarf, also.

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of Noro
Or the beauty of dropped stitches,
The casting off
Or just after.
