Leftover Wool

When my knitting queen aunt Feels that needlework pull, She starts knitting some squares Using leftover wool. They’re rectangles, really, With colorful stripes, Their patterns and stitches Of similar types. Then when there are enough, Using needle and thread, She will sew them together To cover a bed. If no blanket’s requested By someone she knows, To a charity’s stockpile That handiwork goes. Though some unattached pieces My aunt did produce Found their way to my granddaughter For a new use. Now her dolls all have blankets, Two interests in sync, Crossing ages and miles In such a sweet link.
