Scots with whom sweet Hazel led to the needles and the softest rove the sheeps they cheer and stomp and bleet She’s off to victory See the battles with knots galore But her fingers can restore As she knits and purls and cables her art makes history what will be the greatest design who can rip and frog and more let her turn and free and twist for scotlands queen of warmth freedom’s needle will reign again the designs are here and out they pour reds and greens, blue, yellows and pinks perfect for spring and fall. And now comes the winter with gales galore But hazel and ladies are ready and brave The hats, caps, sweaters, coats and mittens galore are off to herstory The winds they blow and the rain it rips But warm knitted clothing defy nature’s blows Let us rejoice and sing and dance For yarn and needles’ our victory.
