Twenty-Four - Spring 2003
The yellow mittens I made in seventh-grade home economics
proved that I dreamed in color. For the unit on knitting, we were supposed
to turn in a pair of mittens. The two hands had to be precisely the
same size so that when we held them together, palm to palm, no extra
stitches would stick out from the thumb, the tip of the fingers, or
the cuff. Somewhere between making the fourth and the fifth mitten to
fulfill this reauirement, I dreamed that the ball of yellow yarn in
my bag had turned green.
