the feel of wool between your fingers.
favorite colors.
learning something new.
an age-old craft.
doing things in the right order.



evening light.
the company of enthusiastic people.
being at ease in oneself.
learning the basics.
a kind and patient teacher.



order emerging from chaos.
tools of the trade.
conversation over coffee.
tying knots.
threads and fibers.
softly falling snow.
