Meep!

As has been stated, “Meep” is the sound made by something very small and very cute.

I knitted this for my sister Wendy to hang on her Christmas tree. She has a blue and green aquatic theme this year, based on her adventures in Belize a few months ago—the vacation of a lifetime, she says, and dreams of going back. She’s calling her tree a “spirit tree,” and it’s representing a huge change in her life, a rebirth of self.

I don’t usually go in for Christmas, for various reasons, but I wanted to give my sister a token of affection and support. Spinning the yarn for it gave me extra chances to stuff in more love.

Possibly they don’t wear wool socks in Belize, but the knitted jellyfish didn’t work out.
