SITTING IN UNION STATION . . .

Sitting in Union Station awaiting the train heading for Boston, Marash
Girl noticed that the woman sitting opposite was knitting, but she was knitting in a way that
Marash Girl had never seen before.  At the beginning of each row, she would add two stitches, and at the end of each row, she would delete two stitches, thus creating a scarf that slanted its way all the way to what would soon be the end of the scarf.  Marash Girl approached the woman to ask where she was from  . . . as it turned out, the woman was from Germany, and often made scarves in that way, scarves that would slant their way to completion . . . Would that life could be so easy. . .
