Verses

Opening:

The sheep has given us his wool

And plants the color bright

Man forged needles out of steel

For me to knit by golden light

My fingers that knit, embroider, crochet

Can sew the seeds or cut the hay

They cast a seam or sew a stitch

They hammer or nail or dig a ditch

They can create an object of worth

Of color, of beauty of wonder of mirth

So let us go to work right now

And sew a stitch both me and thou. 

Closing:

Now our time is over

Our work for now is done

Today our hands have served us well

Head heart hands are one

Verses

Opening:

My two hands are folded so straight on my chest

Crossing each other with right over left

I think of the trees crossing branches and twigs

Vines in the forest, legs dancing a jig

Window Panes, rafters and joists in the floor

Heros at battle cross, bright flashing swords.

Each cross-stitch I do

So careful and true

I mirror of the world in all that I do

Closing:

Now our time is over

Our work for now is done

Today our hands have served us well

Head heart hands are one

Verses

Opening ( reverent and pull the stars in on this one - they step up)

From as far as the stars

To where I stand

I've come to use

My right and left hand

To card, to fluff, to wind to knit

For work so fine my hands are fit

Let's sit

Closing:

My work for now has ended,

what I have learned will rest,

I thank you hands both left and right,

for helping me do my best.

Verses

Opening:

This is little Tommy Thumb, Round and smooth like any plum

This is Peter Pointer, Surely he's a double jointer

This is a mighty toby tall; He’s the biggest of them all

This is dainty Ruby Ring, Much too fine for many things.

This is little baby, so tiny and so shy,

All the five we’ve counted now, busy fingers in a row

Each one knows the way to go

How to work and how to play

But together they work the best

Each one helping all the rest

Clean-up Song

I've heard a little gnomie say

 It's time to put your work away.

Wind up your balls, Pick up lost threa

And quietly put, Your handwork to bed

Closing: 

My fingers are so sleepy, 

It's time they went to bed.  

First you Little Baby, Tuck in your tiny head. 

Ruby Ring, now it's your turn. 

 Next comes Toby Great. 

 Peter Pointer hurry Because it's getting late.  

Let's see if they're all nestled,

 No! - there's just one more to come,  

 Move over please and make room For Mr. Tommy Thumb

Noah and I made a duct tape dress form today. After taping we used foam core instead of a hanger to hold the shape of the shoulders.
