They sit in circles
Hooks and needles at the ready
Yarn is twisting round the table legs
Before it’s knitted into scarves
And blankets that are kept for years
Keepsakes loved by generations
With those conversations had
Woven in with warmth and care.

There is something about a crafting circle like that, Rachel. There’s so much of the person woven into the knitting, or crocheting, or whatever. And the social bonding people can get can be really powerful.

I always think of that movie called How To Make An American Quilt. It shows the stories of all the women in the quilting bee 🐝
