One of the things about knitting – it allows me transcend time and place – this happens especially when commuting to work by bus – under the ipod with a knitting project in hand. I become younger, much younger – to some place of passion brought by the music – then instantly traverse a decade to pregnancy and homebirth – then another decade or two to the present. It is not so much memory when knitting, more like a time and space curve and intersection. The past, present and different geographical locales are all now. Physics and zen and knitting.
Travel interrupted this blog. Then a new job. And what else? I am going to try to go back in time to get present.
Check out these three monkeys – Estonian, Finnish and a ship monkey. I want to knit roomfuls of monkeys. Instead, I have just started one. It is a slow going monkey since blankets, sweaters, socks, weaving, surface design and weeds take precedence. The monkeys were encountered on a knitting cruise to Northern Europe. More about the northern esthetic later.
It turns out some of these monkeys have appeared here before. I guess that's how it is with monkeys.
