Status Updates From Mindfulness in Knitting: Me...

“Domestic textiles fill the home with otherworldliness, taste, and a knowledge of how things are made. In an age of cheaply manufactured goods, the hearth of the knitter teaches an appreciation for handmade treasures and the art of focus.”

“The diversity of knitted outcomes made by many heads, hands, and hearts, with all their peculiarities, temperaments, and aspirations are what make me love the culture of knitting. Textiles hint at the lives and loves of people.”

“…as the rows build up, it dawns on me that my stitches are just another movement in nature’s textile ecosystem, given to us to practice since our evolution. Whatever the outcome, people like us are programmed to do this kind of work.”

Love the idea of a textile ecosystem, like I have a kinship with Charlotte 🕷️🕸️
