A Black Yarn

Some people think I'm a trouble maker

But I'm not

I just wear black a lot

I knit in public

Everyone says, "That's cute"

But I think they're afraid I'll stab them in the eye

And I might

I've been halfway naked with my boyfriend

The top half

We were going to go all the way naked

But we didn't and I can't remember why

I haven't seen Alice since KnitWit closed

She wrote a book

And I didn't read it

But I don't feel bad because Amanda didn't either

Scottie read it

She even used a pattern from it to make a scarf

I didn't know scarves could be so ugly

I mean, how do you screw up a scarf?

Yeah, a hat maybe, but a scarf is a big square

Don't make stuff more complicated than it has to be

Bella took up crochet

Amanda taught her

Now she's crocheting stuff to sell so she can make money to buy more yarn

This is in addition to the job at the yoga studio

Really, how much yarn can you buy?

My god, I sound like my mother

Maybe I am a trouble maker

But I don't think so

After all, I only stabbed one guy with a knitting needle

Besides, black is cool

And you can find a lot of black yarn
