Notes in the time of Corona: A prayer for patience

“All in good time, my pretty, all in good time”

The wicked witch said to Dorothy

“All in good time”

I tell you this now:

Do not become frustrated by the mistakes

From that complicated pattern

Blue and green,  an aurora borealis.

yarn from New Zealand

30% possum fur and 70%  wool
picked out by your grandsons.

Eventually it will be a beautiful shawl

But first you must plow through
unknown stitches

Made clearer by you tube videos
Watched over and over till you get it

Tangled yarns 

Main color versus contrasting
Carrying one up the side, don't confuse them.

May you have patience to continue, 

to fix mistakes

To finish

Your struggles will turn into something beautiful
But not today.
