Neat haiku, I've kept coming back to this, and got to like it better and better.
Charles,
I think it could be in the vein of gendai haiku almost. Although gendai means modern, in Japanese it has other meanings.
Haiku in Japan started to incorporate urban images more and more after its enforced rapid industrialisation in the mid-to-late 1860s.

I think any urban appliance is fair game for haiku, in Japan, and outside Japan.
This is a very fine haiku and is both contemporary and in keeping with classic and modern haiku in Japan and elsewhere. The haiku is well worth multiple re-readings.
It's the "wraith" FROM the dryer, which could mean a literal wraith, or that warm smell and sensation you get from the laundromat dryers, and which would come from people's clothing, containing an essence of them.
This is excellent! To me what is interesting about haiku is that the reader brings their experience and imagination to the writer’s poem. I enjoyed Frances Jones poem and Alan’s take on it.

Routine questions are usually answered annd likewise
knitting difficulties are resolved. -14-16; standard level sizes I
believe you mighnt have figured it oout although by now; you would want
to cast on most likely between 70-80 stitches, depending on your yarn; youu would possibly need to do some math or
even higher, try it on as you go; the length is far easier to adjust, just maintain knitting till you attain your desired size.
