Knitting Nevermore

I came across a book of knitter's cartoons while perusing Amazon.com today.  The book's title is "It Itches: A Stash of Knitting Cartoons."  While taking "a look inside" the book, there was a page titled "Lost Knitting Diaries of the Famous."  One in particular really tickled me, so I'm sharing it here.  (I know it's copyrighted, but it's printed on their page so I figured there's no harm in reposting on my blog.  But if I'm shut down tomorrow, you'll know why.  ;)

"The weather being very fine, I sat for some hours in the park to work the second of the pair of stockings I wish to give Lenore as a birthday gift.  When for a moment my back was turned, its finished mate was plucked clean from my knitting basket by a large raven.  I am sick at heart to think I shall see it nevermore. (Note to self: Possible story idea here?)"

Love.  It.

And from one of my favorite authors, too!
