just a little poem by little ol' me...

[proudmama762003]

I posted this under the finished cathedral window afghan by chriskad (i think that was who) but thought some others might like it.

 

I made it up on the spot and if i say so myself it is kind of cute and fits me to a T!!!

 

Crocheter's Poem

One of These Days

an Original Poem by Proudmama762003

aka Robin

 

Oh, Afghans I have done,

by the ton, by the ton,

Sadly, for me,

I haven't kept a one!!

 

"One of these days",

Is what I always say,

but that never happens,

as I give it away!

 

But the gladness it brings,

makes my heart sing,

For the loved one,

I give it to when it is done!

 

If I should ever complete,

the CWA, oh what a feat,

ends woven and all,

I shall hang it on my wall!

 

Oh, "One of these days"

 

 

hope you all enjoy it!!

Oh, I like that!!!!! I am making an afghan right now for me. Bad timing with the heat but I can't wait till I finish it. This will be my second full size afghan. It's a round ripple and is about five and a half feet across. I really like your poem.

[proudmama762003]

thanks ladies for all the nice comments - I just love afghans and so want one for myself but everything else i need to make just pushes it further and further away - but 'one of these days' LOL!!

thanks again!!

Hello Robyn - cute poem and I can empathise with the compulsive-giving-away problem! If someone says, "Oh that's nice!", my answer is usually, "Do you like it? Do you want it? Here, take it!" It must be a crocheter thing. Your best hope of getting a nice afghan that you WON'T give away is probably to do a friendship ghan

[CLLinda]

Very nice poem. Very true with us crocheters. We give a lot of projects away. But that's wonderful too.

 

I was just thinking about what to do with my three afghans from the fair. I will give the big one to my son, and the little ones I will probably give to a hospital.

Love the poem!

Lovely poem

I crocheted for 10+ years and I was always selling/giving them away. I eventually got to keep one for myself . I have some squares I inherited from my grandmother. When I get around to putting them together, it's all mine.

I love it! It put a smile on my face. If you come up with more poems, please do share them!

Love it!

[crochetluvknot]

You mean we can actually make something for ourselves lol I have never kept an afghan or anything I have made they have always found a home with someone

[proudmama762003]

too funny!!

 

thanks so much for all the compliments!!

 

my mom printed it out to go in front of my finished projects photo album (however, I always forget to take pictures until after i have already given the things away! -- maybe that should be my next poem - LOL!)

 

thanks again and i'm glad i could put a smile on your faces!!

I like that poem. As a newbie in the neighborhood, I think WHAT HAVE I DONE, oh what have I done. lol

[ScoobyDoo0811]

That is really cute!!! I like it!!! I have never kept anything for myself, everything always finds a home somewhere besides here . I am currently working on a kitchen set that includes placemats, coasters, scrubbies, potholders/hot pads, dishcloths and I say it is mine but if you were a fly on the wall you would probably laugh cuz it will probably end up some where else :lol.

Great poem Robin, and from the looks of the posts, it speaks the truth about a lot of us.:manyheart

Too Cute! I have not made it, but many women who have ......say that the CWA is surprisingly easy to make.....just a lot of piecing together.......someday:sigh!
