Knit One, Friends Too

I've been working on my craft a lot lately and have also been thinking about friendship a lot recently too. So, it's just natural that I somehow weave them together in this blog. Once you cast on, knitting can be simple, like a straight stitch, or more complex like the seed stitch. Such is the nature of friendships. Once you meet a person and then form a bond, relating to them can be a piece of cake, but there are times when the seed stich necessitates itself for the sake of the pattern, making things much more difficult.

Sometimes you'll drop a stitch, but if this happens, you don't trash the entire project. You might put it down and walk away for a while, but you've worked so long and so hard to get it all right, that you realize that one dropped stich won't make such a huge impact on the finished project. And in friendships, you'll stumble sometimes but you don't give up the friend. You take some time, reevaluate, and come to the decision that at the end of the day, there's been so much invested that having the friend is much better than not.

The finished product, though it has it's miniscule flaws, is a beautiful woven tapestry that represents time, patience, fortitude and love. And that, my friends, is worth it.
