The garter stitch scarf

Mom’s
yarn and needles
and patience — I learned knitting.
And once I understood the knit/purl
I thought that was all the skill I’d ever need.
One simple garter stitch scarf, striped brown, white, and coral.
Ugly, but I flung it around my neck
Proud of myself and my creation
It matched the coat
I wore.
