A warm refreshing party scene where conversations are real and the past is welcome. Wonderful knitting metaphor.

Very nicely done! I always find it interesting how when meeting past friends the stories always seem to increase the length of the yarn. Some memories fade while others find a new perspective. Nice write.

I love the the "knit" blanket of warmth, the various levels and weaves, the wine and breath--I especially like "underneath time blankets" which emphasizes that this goes beyond the ordinary, really a heightened experience shared among friends, as if they have time plled up over them, multi-colored and cozy, like children playing an important special game, and whispering while the rest of the world goes on as usual.
