These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

A New Project

To start a scarf I cast each stitch,
then back and forth it goes.
To make some space, I carve a niche.
My crafting pattern shows.

A 19-needle, big and large
makes chunky scarves so warm.
What could I ever think to charge
for a cold day's wondrous form?

Some day when done I'll bless this gift
to someone with a need,
and be the cheery face to lift
another life, indeed.
