I've been knitting, knitting, knitting
travelling with children on trains and ferries and buses
or worrying away on the hard seats of hospital waiting rooms
I've been knitting, knitting, knitting
and I've finally finished a lovely big, warm, woolly jumper for my farming man...
but its more than just a practical addition to his scant wardrobe
this project is a record of a cold season of parental duty
(of the heavy duty kind)

I trust it will keep the farmer twice as warm for twice as long
as it contains a whole lotta love in every knitted stitch
(that's the real magic of handmade things after all...)
