When Grandma Knits

When Grandma Knits

My Grandma loves to sit and knit.
Click, clack, her needles go ;
While "squeak, squeak" says her rocking chair,
A-rocking to and fro.

My Grandma knits such lovely things,
Mufflers for Tom and Will,
And bouncy-balls for baby dear
To help to keep her still;

And little stockings for my doll,
And horsey-lines for Ned, 
And wristlets, too, for Jack and Joe
Of yarn so bright and red,

And mittens for the very poor,
And hoods all nicely lined;
It seems to me a lot of work,
But Grandma doesn't mind,

But only sits and smiles and smiles,
And knits the live-long day,
And seems to have a better time
That I do when I play.

I like to watch my Grandma knit.
Click, clack her needles go,
While "squeak, squeak" says her rocking chair,
A-rocking to and fro.
