london baby!

Posted on annePosted in Uncategorized

Anne is presently in london attending/teaching at knit nation, and is unable to blog. She will return early next week to share her adventures.

I may do a guest blog if time permits, but not very likely. As I am thinking of Anne and reading the poetry of Walter Benton, I will share a verse with you.

“When a star falls, I shall wish for you.
When the moon is new, I shall wish for you.
When a bird looks into my window, when a leaf falls before me, when I find a fern in flower – I shall wish for you.”

I would have preferred to share a poem of my own composing, but long ago I vowed to not to use such words for anyone save Anne. To this end Walter Benton will suffice, I love his candor and directness, a descriptive narrative of such beauty, it is something to behold.

Well, as you can see I do miss Anne so very much, fortunately there is Skype. I’m certain some of you miss her as well, she will return to us soon.

Until next time, I bid you adieu.

  1. You rock David! We do hope you have a minute to blog about Anne in London but we will understand if you just don’t have the time. Maybe…

  2. Thank you David, I enjoyed that very much. I have never heard it before. Yes miss Anne but excited for her to be able to go to London. Do keep sharing the poetry, it is really nice.

  4. Thanks for filling in, that was awesome! I’m so glad I got to meet you two (and Cookie) at TNNA, it was made extra special by three main figures of the blog being there. : )

  5. Just what Debby said! Thanks, David, for sharing those lovely words and thoughts. We love to hear from you and are looking forward to hearing about Anne’s adventures and inspirations, too!

  7. Dear David, you are a gem. We will all rejoice when Anne returns from her London adventure and revel in her stories and photos. Thank you so much for the wonderful poetry, and have fun in the garden!

  9. I took Anne’s Finishing Series class at Knit Nation yesterday and really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. So David, while you’re missing Anne, your loss is our gain in the UK.

  11. David,

    Tears in my eyes too over a guy from the poem. Maybe sometime I can share it with him, if the stars align rightly. Thank you!

  13. We miss Anne, too. You did a wonderful job filling in and its obvious that she is a fortunate lady to have a gentleman such as yourself at home missing her. Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Thank you for your post.

  15. What a nice surprise to see an update on my favorite blog this morning! I miss Anne so much, but always look forward to hearing from you too.

  19. I was looking forward to a guest post from you, but if it doesn’t happen, this one is lovely enough. Thanks. You’ve made my day.

  22. Dear David – why are you not in London? I just returned from London 2 weeks ago… you would have had a blast! But I know… someone has to do the dirty work at home. Thanks for the update and trust us, we miss Anne, too!

  24. Well, David, you sure know how to warm a heart and bring tears to the eyes! No wonder Anne is so crazy about you! You are a dear soul!

  25. Dear Mr. Knitspot,

    Would you and Anne ever consider sharing the story of your courtship? I feel sure that I am not the only reader who would love to hear it.

  26. I’ll second that Anne is one very lucky gal, and, I too, join Allison in saying your courtship story would be a delightful one to hear (even if only in Cliff Note version!)…
    (((hugs))) to you both!

  27. David, thanks so much for that! We miss Anne terribly as well and look forward to her return. {{hugs}}
