Do You Ever Wonder?

Do you ever wonder who first picked up two sticks and thought, "hmmmm, I think I can do something with this?" I wonder that all the time .  Then I wonder how all the various stitches and patterns came to be . I wonder who made the first sweater, the first socks, the first hat .

I look at my projects in wonder and marvel that this piece of art came together one knit, purl, yo, mk1 and ssk at a time .

I wonder when I look at a hand painted yarn how the colors are going to play out . What pattern will it make? How is that one odd color going to fit in?

I watch in wonder as my spinny friends take a bag of odds and ends of fleece and fiber and spin a gorgeous skein of yarn .

I look at this project that came together one stitch at a time . I think about my life, which  at it's most basic is a long chain of days . I wonder what patterns, twists, loops, and mistakes are ahead, knowing that the twists, loops and mistakes of my past are what has made me the "project" I am today .

What do you wonder?
