A single-page poem titled "Crochet" in which the speaker reflects on her devotion to crochet work. She compares the crochet hook to Izaak Walton's fishing hook, and compares her thread to the thread spun by Clotho, the Fate of Greek myth, and to the thread of life. She also treats a hidden knot in the worsted as a figure for concealed sorrow. It has no instructions or patterns and is of interest as literary and cultural material on women's needlework.
